Re: FRC 5969 - Rookie Robot is driving!
Do you guys have plans for fabricating and mounting bumpers? If your team is only able to meet 4 more times before bag and tag, at this point I'd suggest focusing entirely on making the robot competition legal, and only then on additional scoring devices.
Keep in mind that in order to shoot the ball effectively, aside from having a capable shooting mechanism you need an effective ball acquisition method, as well as accurate and consistent lineup. A robot that only drives can be a great contributor to a multitude of alliances for playing defense, breaching and challenging. One that can collect a ball, cross B & D defenses and score it in the low goal or just drop it off is sure to have a place on any team's picklist.
I hope you guys have a great rookie season. Good luck!
