Re: Shooters vs Arms
Our team uses an arm to get the ball up and uses a pneumatic 'poker' to actually hurdle the ball.
Our main problem is not getting the arm caught on the overpass, which isn't really a problem in driver-controlled mode, but is a problem for autonomous. We've also had some minor issues with tipping over (only under extreme circumstances), but since our robot only weighs 88 lbs, we are planning on adding at least 20 lbs of ballast.
