Re: Lessons learned by teams for next year...
we learned not to mess around with the gripper design when we have one that works we lost a few matches due to that
we also learned not to try to due more than our bot is designed to our robot like most is designed for just one tetra at a time and there were many occasions where we tried to load two tetras at once this is fine with the arm design as it has proved to be able to lift,three regular tetras at once, two vision tetras, and a center goal!, however the gripper is not designed for this and we frequently lost tetras, or got tetras too far back to easily get off, or in one instance in the LA regional getting one tetra nested inside the other, like stacking but from the side, and then having to put that mess ontop of a stack
also know what effect retreading your tires will have on you manuverablility before you do it in competition, as it turned out we could barely turn due to too much side traction
