Small ball grabers

[nuggetsyl]

I can not understand why there are so few small ball grabers. I know 568 1024 302 do it but not many other teams do. And no grabing one at a time with the one you use to grab the big ball with does not count. Maybe no one cared that that you can not unscore the small red balls or they though that they would not be able to get them to the human player??? It is just weird to me because i though by now i would have seen a ton of them.

you'd be surprized how many teams start designing their robot 10 minutes after the kickoff video ends

and weeks later (maybe) they figure out the best possible scoring scenearo.

Our machine eats balls off the floor, then regurgatates them at the HPs feet

its biomimricry - we fashioned our robot after a robin :c)

yea we can scoop up the balls pretty well, storing up to 9 at a time and we drop them all directly into the corral. and my human player skillz are L337

Nine that is pretty good how fast are you

There's a long thread about ball collecting..

really, i think it just takes longer to refine those collectors so less are out.

9 of them, you say? cool. just one thing though, can't you only fit 5 (maybe 6) balls into the ball corral at a time? or i could be wrong (happens alot).

Without having them built yet I can not give you a definate but we were thinking you could get max of possibly like 12 into the corral and on top. Becuase they start you off with 3 on top and it looks like you might be able to get 4 up there and it looks like you could probably get 8 or so into the corral itself. Altho if that isn't the case you can definately get like 9 or so because you have the area up top for 3 and then the corral can go 2 deep so.

It's four feet across, so like 3 wide and then it was two deep so you can fit six in the actual corral. You can pick them out of the corral and they don't only have to go onto the ball rack.
