Re: Who has successfully THROWN ringers on to the rack yet?

our robot, on several occasions during practice hours, was able to fling tubes onto the rack... via a throwing motion of the arm, combined with a pneumatic thruster and releasing the gripper. It was pretty neat, though we never got a video...



We have found it far more efficient for our HPs to just throw the tubes in front of our robot, so we just do that.
