Re: 95 Hard at work

Here are a few videos from yesterday. We finally got everything working together: the automatic 2spd drivetrain, carwashes, and flower petals.

inkling16 - We did try various ways of carrying multiple balls at once, it seems like it will be very easy to carry 2 balls at once for autonomous. We plan on doing some more testing once the bumpers are ready.

We tried a few different ways of catching the ball, and as soon as our ball-retaining mechanism broke (snapped a few bits of string) we tried actively catching the ball, i.e. closing the blossom before the ball had a chance to bounce out. It worked pretty well.
