Re: Picking up fuel from the ground vs. using hoppers/retrieval zone
Sounds like you guys need to put a little more time and energy in to developing a strategy. Your game plan is what should dictate the systems you build.
Our teams appear to be building similar robots. A strong focus on gears and climbing but also the ability to shoot(not a main focus). We have personally opted to forgo the floor pickup. We understand the potential of being starved, but we are a small team and don't want to spread our resources any thinner than they already are.
If possible, take a look at your design and see if you could maybe branch it and design a version with a floor pickup. Then depending on how things go you could build robot A and revisit floor pickup modifications later on in the season. Perhaps as part of your 30lbs of prefab.
