Re: Drive system vs. ground pickup

Go with picking balls up from the ground. I've never been a believer in human loading for the robots; the results of this week's pracitce competitions confirms my worries. 2 speed can be done without anyway (we've never had it).

If you are single speed though, might you need to be geared slightly faster?
