Re: Who is picking up from ground?

There was no sacrifice when we designed our robot. The robot is designed with continuous feed in mind. The balls are picked up off the floor and placed in a hopper than runs the entire back portion of the robot. The same conveyor used to place balls into the hopper is used to feed the shooter so they can also go directly to the shooter. And that’s not all! That same conveyor is also used to feed the balls from out of the hopper and up to the shooter. This meant a lot less conveyors and a lot less weight in belting.

Re: Who is picking up from ground?

Koko ed, i really like your team's method of picking up balls! Looks REALLY smooth and effective! Great job!

As for 1023, we are planning to have the ability to pick balls up and contain them. We also have the ability to receive balls from the human player I don't think we really sacrificed anything to be able to do this, we all realized the importance of this feature.
