Re: Contested Containers

Getting control of the cans on the step quickly will be the key to seeding well in quals and winning in playoffs. Can grabbing mechanisms will evolve as the season progresses, and its going to look like the mini-bot arms race in 2011. Whatever is good enough in Week 1 won't be good enough as the season progresses. Good can grabbers will get copied, and new ones will be developed. Teams will use their 30lb. withholding build the latest and greatest. Bots will be broken and flipped as they perform an autonomous tug of war over contested barrels. It should be fun to watch.
