Re: Silly and ridiculous robot designs.

Never ask for crazy, off-the-wall ideas...

The result was the idea of a robot that would do a chin-up on the overpass to send the ball over. Good idea, except that you can't grapple field elements...

Another was a large 3/4 circle with scoops at each end. The idea was to drive up under the overpass and drop the ball over into the other scoop. Just one minor problem...something about scale...
