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

The alternative is some type of mechanism to disengage the gear from the robot. It makes the device more complex.


In general, the more you Robot can do, the better off you are.
. What else are you going to do in auto? Place a gear and shoot your 10 balls? Ifso shoot from the lift into the boiler.
Granted you would be limited to 2 options for gear placement
