Re: Team 766 Robot's-Eye Video from SVR

Thanks Mark! Don't worry, we did hurdle at least 8 or 9 times during SVR, which was much less than we would've liked but at least fairly consistent. We hurdled twice in Match 35 and I'm sure we could have done 3 in a match if we hadn't had some problems with the elevator-control potentiometer on Saturday.

Yes and no. Without a rolling gripper, we do have a slightly harder time picking up the ball than, say, Woodside. However, in general it's not too bad, especially if we can get it against a wall or divider.

We might not have made weight with ours either, except that I championed the cause of leaving the camera on pretty vigorously.
