Re: Picking up from both sides

Our team has come up with some designs for this exact method and also some strategies to implement it. If you are creating a bot that is not super agile this is a great method, no need to turn, keep the turret lined up on the net, don't always have to rely on the targeting program to aim 100% correctly. With this design you will have to shoot balls more frequently since you can only hold 3 at a time and it is a great way to clear all of the REBOUNDS from your opponents goal. Think about it, line up your robot so it collects parallel to the fender on your opponents side and launch all of the balls over to your side for a "dunker" robot to put them in real quickly.

Every design idea has a good strategy you can implement with it. It just has to be the strategy your team wants to do.

Claimer: This was an idea that was brainstormed and prototyped. This design will not necessarily end up on the final designs for team 2851 Crevolution.
