Re: WOW factor
Okay, I finally figured out the WOW factor for my team's robot.
With practice, tuning, current conservative estimates say we can go from normal configuration to above the plane in under 5 seconds. Arm deploy, hook snag, AND hang. In practice, I'm going to say 10 seconds, but I'm cautiously excited.
And that's not the part of our robot we put the most emphasis on. I'm really excited.
