Very nice design. How well does it pick up from the feeder? Or do you just have the human player drop them on the floor?

[stephanie.s.842]

Yes, we can grab it from the fear.

[Chris is me]

I like it.

Can we borrow it?

[Martin Carranza]

This is only the prototype. We will let you borrow the final one.

[IndySam]

You guys are on fire this year!

[Martin Carranza]

Ok. It's yours next season.

We haven't tried picking a tube up from the feeder station but our arm geometry should let us get a tube pretty easily. We might use a strategy that involves the human player throwing tubes near us but it has not been concluded.
