Go to Post Everyone who has posted on this thread has brought about a lot of different ideas to the plate. Before it was just a simple 1 course meal in my mind. But when you post something on CD with tons of engineers and engineers in the making, your bound to have a feast!! - gallo26 [more]

Re: Fuel stuck in front of lift.

I expect a lot of teams will just drive into the balls and mash them into the wall. They're soft, deform easily, and seem to pop back into shape.

Engage Ramming speed!

In all seriousness.... that's usually the solution to a lot of issues in FIRST . My only worry there is that you might end up on top of some of the balls. For a lot of robots with low bumpers that will spend the end of movement.

If it gets particularly bad I'm sure a run or two with the intake will clean it up.
