Not sure how they plan to get a ball into the "perfect position", but it is pretty neat none the less.

We need to be sure our ball grabber is pretty effective. I know your subteam did some testing on this on the wooden bot. This is going to be pivotal towards even thinking about scoring.

The key to the grabber is funneling the ball towards one, uniform bot. Reshaping the kicker will allow us to create an effective funneling system as well as properly grip the ball.

We *might* have to move the roller a bit lower, but it'll only come through testing and actually powering up the roller.
