For hurdling, do you just do an over the head fling? How does your gripper unfurl then grip the ball, as it certainly looks pretty nifty in the starting position! Does the firing of those two pistons unfurl it and grip the ball? Or is there something else hiding that actuates the paddles? Can you guys still hurdle well without the kicker?

Did you guys go with a mecanum wheels again?

Another very nice looking robot for the Chop Shop, see you guys next weekend!
