Will your robot have the capability to load directly from the brattice?
My guess is that there will be a few tall robots that load from the brattice and forego ground intake, but they will be few. I don’t expect almost any short robots to load from the brattice.
No for us.
Interesting poll… I’m interested to see how many people will go with yes.
With the limited number of boulders (not like RCs or AA balls, but far from unlimited), any robot that plans to move and/or score boulders needs a ground pickup anyway, and you have to drive farther to use the brattice, so why do a second loader? Actually, there is a possibility that our low-bar-capable robot will be able to load from the brattice without the ball hitting the carpet, but it’s not a design requirement. We will probably not even build a brattice for our own practice, though we may if we can figure out how to do a half-court scrimmage.
