My team has currently determined that it shouldn't be overly hard to get over the barrier with kitbot West Coast Drive (without any testing mind you), and if we find that we can't do it with the kitbot drive, we will create a mechanism to get over. Designing the intake to deal with that is going to be a challenge, especially going into this planning to not use pneumatics.
5 Weeks and 4 Days 'till Stop Work Day. Good luck Ladies and Gentlebots.
