Re: pic: 1255 BlargleBot

Well, if any of you were at LSR last year, you might remember our bot. We were the one running around out there without any sort of manipulator, just playing defense. We wanted to build on that strategy this year, but have some scoring capability. The top can hold 10 balls, and moves up slowly so that the balls roll towards (hopefully into) the corner goal in autonomous. The "wings" as we like to call them come down and herd the balls, we then have some landscape edging on the front end which helps us push the balls into the goals. This way, we can score if needed, but we're gonna rely on our defensive capabilities the most. Also, ramping is no problem.

I'm not really sure how I should take the "cute" comment...
