Re: Boulder Flow

Our bot will under the low bar, so it's a straight shot from our human player station, through the outer works, and into scoring position. Our manipulators support direct feeding from the from the brattice into the robot, so if all goes well, the ball wont touch the ground all the way from the feeder station to the goal. If a team wants to get in our way as we're grabbing a ball, they'll just be hurting themselves with the fouls. Now, defense after crossing the outer works is the real bottleneck, but we're hoping we've got ways of dealing with that.
