By the end of the day, the rookie shooter (can't remember their number) was hurdling, and we (the robot with the army green bumpers and big hoops for a gripper) were capable of placing, removing, hurdling, and herding, but I think we only really practiced herding since our complete arm code wasn't loaded due to the incomplete electrical system (ie. the pot and limit switches on the elbow weren't installed. With 2CIMs
and 2FPs behind the elbow, we didn't want to try it open-loop)
