Re: pic: new robot cart with 2014 bot
The robot looks very good but it just may be an optical illusion, but it looks like your arm, when rotated, may pass through the 20 inch exclusion.
The 20 inch rules apply from the floor to infinity (and beyond)
The easiest way to check is put your robot 20 inches from a wall and rotate the arm. If at any time the arm touches the wall, you're illegal.
Like I said it just may be the picture but it is best to find out now instead of at a regional and you have to hack up the arm.

Be carefull with those lights. If someone is using their camera to track the blue lights on the goal you could get in a bit of trouble.

On the other hand, most robots will be looking high for the goal lights.

Outside of that, if your vision system is confusing lit up letters for a goal, it's your code that has problems, not the robot with the lit up letters.
