Re: Aerial Assist--Perspective from a low-resource team

So, as my team has asked me to ask CD, what next? What innovative features has your team come up with to make their robots better, and how can a team, like mine right now, build something else? We've already got a launcher/pickup/blocker and we don't know what to do next. We've considered a new drive (swerve or just a fast, shifting 6wd), but we can't afford it or justify it. The kit drive is pretty darn good.
You design your shooter to have variable range/arcs so that you could shoot more vertical for the truss and a flat trajectory for scoring in the goal. Just be careful that your "improvements" don't make the robot lose its current functionality.
