How many of you are actually being a feeder bot?

There would probably be some advantage to designing around that strategy from the get go, but we shall see.

My argument against that was the fact that we would allocate such a big chunk of our time with the camera and projectile path predictions and ect. I want to focus on a dynamic system for balancing the robot. I want to perfect that. Having designed as a feeder will let us forgo the "storage" area and just chuck the balls across the field as soon as it gets picked up. (The shooter is on a turret.)
