In auton. we do not grab it, but position ourselves to. It is a relatively simple operation after auton. My fellow driver and i have been practicing a bit so we are getting the ball faster each time. As for the step, we have almost no problems. Itis basically a ram and go ordeal with 12.5" wheels. The center of gravity isn't a problem, especialy when we have that huge "fishing pole" arm in the direction we want it.

Thanks for the questions keep 'em coming.

(I am still waiting for the ok on the trannies)

[edit] We are two inches short in the length of the bot, other than that we have a full footprint.
