I am not so convinced about that. If you look at the dimensions of the trailer, it should be perfectly feasible to do some sort of a dump rather than a shoot for ball expulsion.
As for pickup, I was thinking about rollers even before I knew about this rule, so I don't have another solution in mind right now. I am sure it is out there somewhere though.
I do have to agree that this rule seems a little confining, and I am not a huge fan of the increased human player involvement. R11 does seem pretty crazy, but it is workable if you are creative.
If your robot doesn't work, it doesn't matter, because the robot is really meaningless, in the long run. What is the important thing, the reason we're all in FIRST then? To better our understanding of Science and Technology, and hopefully make the world a better place. - Ian W. [more]
