Re: Defence on the High Goal?

Canon reeves - exactly what we ended on, too. Originally we were thinking a double scissor lift mechanism but even with the best <6" diameter arm in the world, counter-defense could be achieved simply by placing another robot in the goalie zone. So, in the end, a strategy that could be completely nullified with something as simple as a large rock was deemed a poor use of time.

On the other hand, if you could vision-detect one of the balls or use another method to consistently block in autonomous, I think this could be very effective.
