Re: Position of tetras (auto-loaders)

You can see from the offical drawing of the two auto-loading stations HERE that the angle and distance of the tetra from the robot "should" be a very close "fixed" distance.

However, since the auto-loader stations are manually-filled by the field attendants (not your team), there may be some side-to-side alignment and registration issues.....But, my guess is that they'll be afir and load all tetras the same way.

Also, HERE a photo of the REAL competition-grade tetra loader that was taken a the 2005 kickoff
