Re: [FTC]: Lift systems/Time?

My team (4299 Battery Powered Picklejar Heads) has gone for a quite unique strategy: everything BUT crates. We score magnet balls, the bowling ball, and have a cool autonomous program. This way, we can avoid the consistency problems we've seen with the all or nothing crate lifting strategy.

Plus, since balls (and magnet balls) go everywhere on the field, we can go picking up and sorting through balls while protecting our alliance or playing defense.

Re: [FTC]: Lift systems/Time?

I personally think in the end Global Force is going to end up doing that as well. The lifting of crates with our current manipulator is a bit...."sad".
We can more than likely make it thought the SC Championship with what we have..but I'm not hoping for much more than that. Though I must say our magnet finding is pretty boss. It's my favorite part.

Re: [FTC]: Lift systems/Time?

Do you have a really fast way of picking up balls or something?
