Re: Team 558 placing the ball and scoring
Thanks for the tip. The upper part of the ball handler is actually two pieces of wood, just painted silver. It's pretty well sanded and rounded, so I don't think piercing the ball will be a problem. As for speed in hurdling. we can either stop and hurdle or hurdle on the go. Once the ball is over we just drop the arm and keep going under the overpass. That's why we went for the reverse dunk strategy; figured it would be easier to keep going and keep our center of gravity more over the robot.
Good luck to everyone this ship day, and see you in CT!
