Re: Value of a Gear Ground Pickup
Ground pick-up is like "righting" a flipped tote or bin in 2015. You don't need it, but if you can do it it will save you tons of time driving around.
We tossed around a couple of ideas that didn't seem to work for gear pick up. Then we merged them and found a decent solution. Should be able to collect a fallen gear and gently eject (not launch) it onto the peg.
I recall my rookie year (mentoring) was 2011. And we didn't realize (didn't read the manual) that HPs could throw tubes over the walls. We designed a robot to only get tubes from the feeder station... big OOPS!
