Re: Fuel Vs. Gears

At this point, we're thinking gears as our primary function (and a rope climb of course).

If these both go smoothly, we have two likely paths for an additional manipulator:

Bee able to gather balls in passing and dump them into the low goal or at the same height as the HOPPER (we'll need to do tall configuration for this) to facilitate passing fuel to a high goal scorer who is set up to load at the HOPPER. We'll be sure to have an optional autonomous mode which begins with dumping our ten pre-load fuel (into an alliance partner) before scoring our gear.

Gather gears from the floor (and get them to our hanger).
