[FTC]: Magnet balls.

Hi everyone, I have a question about the magnetic balls and the off field goal. How many balls can a robot get in the off field goal? To me it looks like only one or two will fit, but I haven't been to a competition yet so I don't know for sure. Anyone know?

Re: [FTC]: Magnet balls.

You can "technically" fit 5 balls in the magnetic goal. But! That's virtually impossible unless your arm is very steady and accurate. 2 can easily fit and maybe 3. It's hard to judge unless I saw a picture of your robot.

I would suggest only putting 2 max in. We hope to see you soon at Delaware!

Re: [FTC]: Magnet balls.

Alright, just wanted to know for sure because that's the only thing we don't have on the practice field. Thanks and see you at DE.

Re: [FTC]: Magnet balls.

So I'm bringing this us just because recently we discovered that we have a foolproof detection system based on our ball pickup design inspired from HOTSHOT and the Team Techno Warriors Advanced pickup system that year in TN.
But my only problem is fitting 5 balls into the goal.
I wish it was bigger because we keep finding all 12.
almost every time.
