Re: THOR - Team 3313 Robot Reveal
When we are chasing down a ball from behind, it can be a little bit of a run down.
BUT!
If we hit the side wall at a perpendicular, we can pick up easily. Or, if the ball is rolling towards us, we can pick up easily too. It's the one instance where the ball is rolling away from our side and into the other side that slows us down.
We love how fast we can inbound with the grippers (inbounder simply tosses it right into our robot). Plus, with a little practice, we can catch a ball from a truss shot (did this multiple times yesterday).
I'll post some Week Zero footage at some point today that shows what I'm talking about.
