Re: Who's robot does everything?

I heard about a team that had one that can do everything:

It can score in the center goal, if it's partner lifts it up 2 feet (it can't quite shoot that high).

It can score in the low goals, but the balls don't quite go in. So it dumps them on the floor, then it's partner pushes them in for them.

It climbs the ramp, but yeah... the ramp is steep; so it needs a boost from it's partner.

It picks up off the ground, but not very well if the balls are moving, so it works best if it's partner can shove them into it's mouth.

It can accept balls from the human player, but they bounce out a lot, so typically it would have the human players bounce them off it's partner, and into it's mouth.

None of this has been tested, and the robot isn't really driving yet... but there is still time.

Truly an incredible machine. The exact definition of coopertition.
Does everything; no problem.
