In autonomous, we have a small flap that folds out when the robot drives forward. All of the rings get pushed onto the ground and we pick up off the ground.
For releasing the rings on the pegs, we just pull the lift down while the ring is on the peg.
Some more detail on the roller:
The belts themselves are McMaster "flat urethane belting". The surface is fairly slick, so we ended up coating the rollers with tape. This was mainly a "quick fix" to get us through the first competition. We plan to find a more long-term option that holds the rings better.
