Team 60 Herding

The bot looks amazing along with 254's.

I was wondering how this style of herding was working for your team? Why did you go with short "swing-out" arms instead of longer? Have you tried getting the balls into the HP corral with that angle across the bottom of the opening?

Also, what motor(s) powers your winch and how fast is the winch?

Good luck from Team 302!
