Re: How is everyone designing their basket for holding balls?

I just need to know about the top opening, which is the info needed to figure out how to effectively transfer ball from a harvester robot to a shooter robot. If this could be standardized it would make the competition a lot more interesting and another very important factor to consider when picking alliances for champianship.
Remember that you can surely make educated guesses to improve chances: Opening will be at 60" or below, so try to 'pop' balls up to a few inches above that. Also, center of robot will be between 13 and 30 inches from an edge, and a basket opening (if there is one) will likely be within this range. So, pop a ball a few inches above 60, and out maybe 20-24 inches (you can always move away a little bit), that should cover most of the other robots out there...
