Re: Simple things you can do to make your bot/team perform better

If you are using something cylindrical for herding balls, we suggest using PVC rollers. Cut the PVC a little bigger than the rod that's herding (and try to have another in the front of the robot), and just slip them on. Ken's solution is more universally applicable but if you can use them, PVC works wonders. We've never ridden up on a ball and managed to herd really well in Sacramento.
