Re: Our mid-season progress

I'm quite impressed that this early in the build season, your robot can already pick up and stack totes and bins, as well as grab pool noodles! Your "two-arm" grabbing mechanism is really great, and I love the way your robot moves around... it seems to be capable of turning like it has omni wheels, but at the same time, it probably has some pretty good torque to it.

If I may make some suggestions, I don't see that signal light working; you'll need to fix that to be ready for competition. In addition, covering your robot's two cameras partially with electrical tape will make it more difficult for it to properly sense totes and recycling bins. Finally, I think that you may need a little more driver practice to make sure that the robot doesn't knock over stacks of totes.

Other than that, though, this is very nice work! Congratulations on your build so far, and I look forwards to (maybe) seeing you at Nationals!
