perhaps i should explain myself a bit more,
Team 31 always tries to design to be modular, it is our goal to cover as many aspects of the game as possible. In the case of this year we had several "modes" but our 3 primary modes were that of a ball basket/1hook or balls of floor/basket/1hook or 2 hook. We always strive to design our machine to be the best we can possibly think of, and sure its really hard to get all that in and make weight and size, the answer (at least for us) -- modularity. I'm kinda sad we didn't get to use more of our modes for St. Louis (we only got to use one
) but hey there's always next year (and yes I know it will be a different game, I've done 3 different games so far). Sure this system wont work for everyone, but we've found it to be perfect for us. If anyone wants any details on how we design for this or how it all works feel free to IM or email me.
I hope this answers your questions.
