i really like the design and best of luck with your next three weeks.
we use the manual loading zone, no human player zone needed. we can also pick tetras up off of the floor. it can pick up tetras one at a time, put up to three on the robot, and then stack all three. we can stack on the center goal, and are practicing our timing for stacking the vision tetra in autonomous mode.

also...

we're working on the tetras' protection within our robot. a robot, however, would have to be pretty specific in its height and mechanisms if it wanted to push them off.

the PSAs will be fixed as soon as i can get to the internet - our computers at school have internet access, but we can't put our files on them. and my computer has the files, but can't be hooked up to the school's network! hopefully they'll be viewable soon.
