I think most teams will have an open basket of some sort to allow human players to toss balls in. So here is the question

What shape and how big are your basket openings and how high are they positioned? And where on your robot is it?Obviously if your basket is at the 5 feet limit it is very difficult for a harvester to pass balls to you because of the height limit. I think it would help everyone to have some sort of a standard for this. This way harvesters knows what they can expect in designing a transfer mechanism and the shooters can expect good allies that can supply them with balls without worrying how they can take those balls.

So again, What shape and how big are your basket openings and how high are they positioned? And where on your robot is it?

We Are planning tohave an open bin on top. We are not collecting balls from the floor on the hope that our alliances will be able to put balls in our open top robot.
