Re: Picking up from both sides

My team is planning on a block I design for the frame on omni wheels with both wide sides serving as intakes for a centrally located feeder. The two challenges we are currently facing (in order of difficulty) are center of gravity height and elec. board placement. We believe neither challenge to be insurmountable, and that the time saved during a match (1-5 seconds) is worth the trade off.
