Standardized Loading Between Robots
FIRST gave us a passing game. I think it would be in everyone's best interest if we came together and tried to hammer out some standard height or something so that our passing mechanisms are compatible. Think of the gas caps on cars. Across every make and model, they fit the same gas nozzle.
I know its extremely early so robot designs haven't come together yet, I think this deserves forethought.
The large radius of the ball means high tolerance for different "ports" or receptacles. If there was a common resting center height for the ball in each "port" you could probably deviate 6 inches up or down without any issue.
Thoughts?
