Re: Best Intake

Re: Best Intake

Humble shoutout to my team for being the only team I've seen this year to effectively use a forklift as an intake mechanism. Everyone's got rollers this year, but a simple and lightweight ball scooper seems to work just fine for us.

See 4055, NRG.

You have a real hard time convincing me that a forklift is 'good enough' under any reasonable amount of defense though.

Re: Best Intake

The good thing about a wheeled/el toro intake, over a forklift, intake is that the wheels/sticks grip the ball. A forklift intake never grips the ball, so I doubt it would hold the ball through defense.
