At the beginning of the season, we created a list of priorities for game tasks. We determined that, since the coopertition bridge was just as important as winning, manipulating the bridge was our second priority (first priority went to moving the robot). This allowed us to put a lot of thought into making a simple, elegant manipulator that was finished by the end of week 3. And entirely student-designed and built too!
