Re: auto vs. manual loading zone, which one?

We used the human player station, soley because we had 2 24" pneumatic cylinders that used up most of our air in the tanks, so when we went to the human player we left our arm in the up position to conserve air. We could have used the auto station but it took too long to align and used too much air lowering the arm.

As far as the omni wheels we had a few issues getting into the loading station. once the human player stepped off the pad the robot continued to roll until it hit the wall and it bounced off the triangle a few times and the HP had to run back and the driver would have to re-drive in, but we saw that at our first competition and quickly fixed that in the driver controls.
