Robotics - Focus Shift

We have determined after our disastrous failure at the first FTC qualifier that we need to change our focus. The block-moving conveyors, while pretty awesome, don't work that well. They require a lot of space and maintenance. However, one major thing makes us want to get rid of them: They don't score very many points at all. The bonuses in this game are so overpowered that actually taking blocks and putting them in the appropriate places is pointless. So, we are just going to have a little shelf-like thing that will dump the block we place on it into the infrared crate in the autonomous period. Even though only a few people were at today's meeting, the redesign has started. It should take only a few weeks to get the fixtures in and maybe another week or two to make them work well. Then, it's all practice and fine-tuning!
