Re: What does your robot do?

Our has a massively overpowered double jointed arm. Why massively overpowered you ask? Well, in addition to its normal herding, placing, slow hurdle, and removing capabilities, our arm is a catapult. The catapult function was never tested due to chain slippage and a software bug (both easily fixable), but with over a horsepower driving the shoulder joint (none of this stored energy nonsense, we just use raw power), that ball is going somewhere fast. The robot also can run a 12sec lap with six robots and four balls on the field, and it will only get faster as I get more practice driving it.
