Re: Antenna design
Team 423 also used "antennas", but we accidentally made them too heavy by adding signage at the top. This caused them to constantly sag and get in the way of everything. Also, they generally cannot go up to max height because when they fold down they cannot stick out more than 15" past the bumpers. We ended up taking them off and making static PVC poles at the height limit for matches where we think there may be a vision issue. It means we lose low goal capability, but we gain vision behind tall defenses, which is much more important in our opinion.
