Thanks for reminding me... We still need to put the camera on the robot! It'll be pointing straight up to help us align with the tower. Yes, that certainly is a concern, but we have room to spare - our practice tower here is a little small, all the way up. One of the issues we had tonight was getting stuck climbing... by the bumpers rubbing against the uprights!
Oh, and two more notes... with the exceptions of a safety trigger (if we release, all motion immediately stops) and a manual button for the dumper, the entire sequence (once lined up) is completely automated. Also, the dumper should be able to dump into the low goal, but we haven't built one as it wasn't a priority. Maybe we'll check that out in Duluth
