Yeah I was talking to the mentors and we decided against automating it. There are many factors at play.

How difficult is it to align? Especially from 30+ feet away and the risk of touching non-sequential zones with those hooks.

We are going to be using a camera to line the bot up. Otherwise it isn't. The distance does affect how well we can see the hooks though. We were wondering if we could take binoculars down to the playing field.

What do you have driving the wheel?

Nothing. It just rolls. The arms propel the robot upward. Nothing else.

I really like that design. Can you make it faster?

Yeah. We have a brake but we were having issues getting the sequence down for it to actually work. I also paused for like 5 seconds halfway through. our goal is 45 seconds. Any less than that is awesome extra time.

Nice! Our team got to the second rung, but we changed our design to guarantee the 10 points for the first rung instead. Our first design was very similar to yours, but we had technical issues.
