It's all fun and games until someone gets their fingers stuck together with super glue, then it's just funny!

Unless you are going to get really creative with tape you pretty much have to scoop/sweep the coins into something. I dont see another way of doing it. The trouble my team is having is that nothing really stays consistent on the board. We sort the legos by hitting them with the robot which sort of moves other things as well.

you know, i've been seeing a lot of posts with scores, and most of them are quite low, my team has been consistently getting 396, and more than often getting a perfect 412. So some teams may want to consider rethinking if they plan to succeed at nationals.

You shouldn't be so arrogant no everyone on this site is worried about competing at nationals some just want to place well in their individual events at states or regionals.

For the gaol box on Robo, is the length 10, width 10, and height 12? Or is it different? Same question for the small goal box. Please reply. :?: :!:

Probaly not the best idea, although it is going to look better it isn't going to be fast enough. My team is despreat to get a good design. We have the vexplorer for all who want to help.
