Trap?

Has anyone actually gotten a note into the trap without shooting it from the ground?

What bots have been able to shoot it from the ground?

Zebracorns probably have the best I’ve seen for now. Though, I know quite a few other teams have done it too.

The supper nerds were the first team I saw do it.

Not convinced it would work on a real trap, also even in this clip, the note didn’t slide all the way down, which it must for it to be scored.

That’s because the team version of the trap doesn’t actually have anywhere for the note to slide down. It just sits there.

I see

We’ve done it with a polycarb flap and the regulation 2 7/8” gap at the top (versus 3.5” team version.)

shot or climbed and scored?

Shot.

Ive seen alot of cad and other desgins for it without shooting, but none that actully succed irl. I would keep looking, but it seems like most teams are either trying to shoot it in, not score trap at all, or not reveal how they did it till comps.
