Re: Plans for hanging

Our original design was a corner climber with a dumper mechanism. The problem is the dumper mechanism simply didn't fit over our climber in a position that it could also get over the corner of the pyramid in the 30 pt position to dump the colored discs.

Our final design is a corner climber with a small linear shooter at a fixed steep angle. It shoots the discs into the pyramid goal with a very little force that causes them to pop up and fall backward. Ideally the shooter will also be able to make it into the top goal during autonomous. We'll see how much of this actually comes together. At this point, I'm most confident in the climb and less in everything else
