And where is the camera?
We don't automatically dump when we are in range (we leave it to the discretion of the operator) but I believe we have programmed in the capacity to dump when in range and the turret is lined up with the trailer.

We also have built into our OI a tactile response to alert the operator to a belt jam. When our robot detects the belts not moving when they are supposed to be firing or intaking, the control panel vibrates with a buzzer. The operator can then reverse the belt direction to dislodge the jam.
