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

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).
I caught my mistake. I think you might want to look at the point on the end of the peg. It is shown on page 44 of https://firstfrc.blob.core.windows.n...Components.pdf . It is shown assembled on page 29. You might be able to have a passive system that uses the point to your advantage so you can drop the gear without the pilot having to lift the lift.
