Curious what capacities other teams are planning on in their robot for a "cycle" of fuel collection before shooting/delivering to the boiler.

I could've sworn there was a thread on this already, but I can't find it with a cursory search.
Iron Kings have been working with some ripped-down-to-1"-by-2" 2x4s to define out structure and make sure everything fits. With sub-optimal packing (most of these balls were still bagged), we think 50-60 is very doable for a fuel-oriented, chute-gears-only robot. I wouldn't begrudge a team eating into that capacity for more advanced gear handling, though.
