Re: The Robonauts 118 - 2013 Video

That is amazing. Your bot is just so darned compact. A few questions:
Good grief, how much spin are you putting on the discs??
What're the extra slanted white dashed lines on your field for?
Once you're at the top of the pyramid, is it possible for you to score colored discs?

That's an ingenious method of changing the angle of the shot. Have you found the wobble to be anything of concern?
