Re: Forwards and Backwards Ball Pickup

To answer your question: I bet a properly sized chain linkage could angle your claw such that it's pointing "down" on either side of the robot. Doesn't even need an extra motor if you do it right.
I would have to say that if a back/front intake requires an extra motor compared to one that is one sided, it isn't worth doing. Our design is simple (to my own standards, at least), easy to build, and requires no extra motors or power sources, so we want to give it a shot
