Cool Re: Importance of Human Loading?

it's only as important as you want it to be. what i thought was nice was a way to shoot the ball back into the robot. say, have an open top to where you shoot into your own loading basket or something. but then again you'd have to have your robot pretty darn close to do that with the skill of human shooters being as pathetic as i saw it to be. so in other words. don't worry about it but keep a thought in the back of your mind about an open top or a funnel that brings the ball you shoot directly to where you want it to be.

WHAT YOU SHOULD BE WORRYING ABOUT IS HOW THE ROBOT CAN COLLECT AS MANY BALLS AS FAST AS IT CAN UNDER THE CONDITIONS OF A SLIPPERY FLOOR!

conveyer belts FTW!
