Haha, you're right. Before we settled on the arm idea, we were looking at ways of making a drop down intake, but with our robot's dimensions, it seemed like a complex geometry problem, so we just took a bit of inspiration from Team 67. I thought the arm idea was a unique way of picking up frisbees, but until i saw Titanium's video today, i was skeptical of its effectiveness and our team was thinking of scrapping it between our week 1 and week 3 competitions for a drop down intake. Glad to see you guys pulled it off so well!
