Actually, I'd suspect the RC claw height is passive. But yes, there seems to be a lot that's automatic, either in software or in physics.
There can be a fine line between intimidation and inspiration when it come to the elite in FIRST. Those teams who have committed to setting the bar for excellence in ways that change the culture, help to draw that line and deepen it. - JaneYoung [more]
