Here's what we came up with:
-We need more than 12" to pick up an 8" ball easily, so we need a ball-intake appendage that extends out of the front of our robot.
-A 4WD mecanum with 120lb on it turns on a dime but can be kept from the key, bridge, and alley, so we need an octocanum with preposterous torque.
-A 4WD octocanum in long configuration needs only passive mechanism help to make it over the barrier, so why not do that?
Are we right? Are you? I'm sure experience will tell us!
