Re: to horde or not to horde

Our robot is designed more to win matches than to give our opponent lots of points. That is the primary basis of ranking, after all. And if they can hang from the bar, that's 50 points anyways.

Really, the only reason I can see to have a ball collecting device at all is to pick balls up off your oppnent's side of the field. If the balls were on your side, it'd be more efficient to just push them towards your goal with a much simpler ball-pushing device.
