Re: pic: Team 971 Presents: Mammoth
Really enjoy the use of the intake to catch/pickup bouncing balls. It's a weird problem to solve, but you make it look effortless. Also, the over the back shot is so fun to watch.
And a question, just to satisfy my own curiosity - the hall-effect sensors on the Claw's pivot, is it safe to assume that each one of them corresponds to some unique position of the claw? Is there any reason for doing this sort of setup over an absolute encoder or similar sensor? Reliability? Cost? Simplicity?
