Re: Elevator robots why didn't you..
As a team with an elevator robot--the only reason we didn't is because we were unable to test our autonomous before shipping, and it didn't work once we got to competition. We actually had 9 potential autonomous modes, and 3 of them involved driving forward, picking up whatever tetra may be in our path, and dropping it on either the center or one of the side goals. Too bad it didn't work.

Actually, we're still trying to figure out what went wrong. Since our competition (St. Louis) we've tried several variations, but have yet to figure out why it's not working. At least it gives us a good programming excercise for our offseason.
