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.
You guys definitely caused us some trouble last year at Lone Star in the semifinals. Any time we would go to score a tetra you guys would show up! I hope the defensive strategy works out for you like it did last year and I can't wait to see yall again in Houston.
