Re: Best Inbounder Qualities?

I agree about the strong drive for the inbounder. It is the one thing I wish we would have done diffrently on our robot this year. We can human load super guick by tossing it in robot and in the few chances it comes out our pickup is really fast and effective. But with Mecanum drive we can get pushed by teams with good drives and good drivers who can stay on us. If you are taking 30 seconds to get free and make a pass or truss shot that is wasted time.

Robots with 2 intakes can add some diff strategies for the loader. Such as load/kiss pass in one quick motion. Or sandwhich the duel intake bot between the other two bots and make a pass through the bot in the middle zone of the field to set up 3 assists very quickly.
