Re: Dedicated Empty Cell Handler?

Team 1141 has a designated EC system. It is located at the front of the robot just below the front of our hopper. It is just below the same height as the hole on the outpost so all the human player has to do is just push it through the wall(without putting their hand through the wall of course) and the robot sucks it in using a spinning roller. The roller is a similar design to the system that releases the balls from our hopper. we originally were going to use the ground pick up to capture and dump the EC but we felt that we would be passing by too many free MR on the floor on our way to the airlock. once at the airlock we just reverse the roller and it shoots the EC out from about 2-4 feet away.
