We're working a very similar load-out with an arm that can stack 4-6 tetras on the side goal, actuated by pneumatics. It has an incredible karate chop if you get anything under the arm as it comes down though, we smashed up one tetra in an incredible fashion last night during final testing. We have a camera mounted, but didn't build a vision tetra and didn't have time to test auton code very well, so we figure thursday at VCU regional will be all about getting the autonomous right.
