Re: What are the advantages of placing gears vs waiting for them to be lifted?

Sorry about the confusion. My intent was to ask about the strategic differences in robots that can approach the gear peg, leave the gear on the peg, and drive away vs those that require the pilot to pull the gear up with the robot still present by the peg. An example of the first would be a robot that moves an arm or flap to drop the gear on the peg (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TvDxyMOSMZ0). An example of the second would be a robot with nothing more than a box with an open top to hold to gear (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TvDxyMOSMZ0).
