It's on the list of things to do, our initial plan had the box at the front of the robot but things had to change. We also think that driving head on into a wall is one of the slower ways to get a disc and keep collecting. The goal will be able to drive along the wall and collect instead of driving into it.

Looks nice. Good luck this season.
It's on the list as well. Our strategy analysis says there will be more discs on the ground than a lot of people think, or at least we can have our team mates put discs on the ground for us (either on purpose or on accident by missing shots). Driving back to the feeding station is going to draw a lot of defense in the open field. Our goal is to pick up rebounds and lay them up for easy points.
