Re: Competitive Intakes

How about not using rollers at all?

*See thumbnail now*

Really, we decided to just leave space for the intake and save it to design last. And, well, someone had the idea that we have an intake like a carwash, so we prototyped this design. With a few tweaks, it worked really well.

Sometimes you just need to think outside the box.

Edit: we have the mechanical capability to do a 7-disk autonomous easily (at least in terms of picking up), but we never got to program it during the season.
