Congratulations to all teams that participated at the scrimmage. It was a great finally see the bots in action! Also, it proved to be a valuable learning experience. I noticed that robots sustained the most damage from falling off the ramp because their center of gravity was far off their base, closer to their arm.
#230 Shelton decided to replace our suction/vacuum system after someone (sorry, but I don't remember who) tipped us off that it was illegal because it counted as a pneumatic device. Thanks for the help! Now we have a circular ring that picks the balls up pretty well. Plus, we don't have to wait the 3 seconds anymore.
Also, we fixed our drive problems. As of shipping everything was working great and as plannned. Hope to see you all in Hartford!
