Really excited to see this robot in-person this weekend! I love the auto-eject so much. Was that mechanically installed for Week 0? Or is that a recent addition?

Love the auto eject feature! Is there anything to prevent control of more than 2 cargo besides driver control?
Really cool robot, excited to watch it play this weekend.
Once the internal feeding system stops (when it has 2 balls it wants), the Cargo will automatically eject out the top of the intake.
Beyond that if you are streaming 3 balls through the bottom of the robot (with 2 or more of them being undesired) we felt like the only possible interpretation of the control we have is momentary. This combined with the first item above really makes it very difficult for us to have greater than momentary control of 3 Cargo.
This sorting system was not on during week 0. An intake iteration was already underway for after that event but we concluded after week 0 that hunting down your own cargo amongst the piles of game pieces was a huge waste of time.
Our robot architecture is fairly similar to Citrus and seeing how successful their system is, we felt about adopting the Pooper too. It’s taken weeks to get the sorting software to a good place. It is a very challenging endeavor.

Something I think needs to be posted publicly as well as shown to refs as its being called wrong this week as much as last week is the definition of momentary in the Rapid React Rules Glossary.
