Oooooo I like the way this sounds, not as a defense against the 2 ball auto but as another position a 2 ball auto could take place in, I'm glad that not only did we decide to put a herder on the front and back of the bot, but both herders are capable of opening the portcullis. Time to push the programmers even harder!
