Re: Question on Possesion

Yeah I grabbed a few soccer balls at my house and my leafblower and experimented. I did put the nozzle on and it really made a big difference. It was able to push the balls at a strong velocity.

Then I did a distance test with it. I was able to push balls from 37.5 feet away!

I am not quite sure as of yet how to implement this onto our bot. But I am open to suggestions. A strong blower combined with a good maneuvering base like a swerve could be a really good bot. Especially since it will allow you to perhaps score and control more than one ball without breaking the possession rule.
