Re: Predictions: A cynical view of reality

One of the revisions for efficiency we've done on our bot was we got pickup rollers working direct drive off of globe motors, the range of places they could pick up from was amazing but once it grabbed it it took too long to come completely into the gripper, simple solution we took out a stage, now it works just as effictively just 5 times faster.

Robots that have been gone through and had every single function gone through for maximum speed will win, and maximum speed means no stopping when hurdling which throws most arms out the window.
