Re: Most Unique Features

Two unique things about our robot:
Our kicker wheel - it picks tubes off of the floor and turns them vertical
Our grabber - it opens from the inside of the tube, and holds the tube vertically. The long arms of the grabber act as guiding mechanisms so that when we drive up to the goal, the spider foot is pushed into the center of the grabber, where an IR sensor triggers closing the grabber, which shoots the tube onto the goal.
