Re: Fuel Truck Bot?

A "fuel truck" bot should be a good low goal scorer, too. The height of the low goal is very similar to the height of the hopper and fuel stations, so high goal robots should already be designed to accept fuel from a low goal scorer.

If the fuel truck can gather balls from the floor, then that may be of further use.

Definitely a reasonable strategy for a team looking to keep their build simple and focus on doing one thing well.

I'd much rather ally with a Fuel Truck bot that works reliably than a "we can do everything, sometimes, when we're lucky, sort of if only we'd had a bit more time to figure out our code and practice driving" bot.
