Re: Playing Jenga with construction equipment

As part of team CAT, I'm proud this has caught some people's attention, but it would make for a pretty horrible FRC experience. Jenga (or anything in this vein) would require a lot of precision in the control aspect. That's not just driver experience or capability, that's the mechanical design precision as well as the mechanical/electrical control. Those are difficult problems to solve and are compounded significantly with the precision requirements that a design challenge like this would create.
