+ | * Trevor created two designs for potential rolling goal possessors. These included a very small linear slide and a small lever both controlled by servos. He also discussed another possible design for a potential rolling goal possessor. This one used a ramp and a platform to hold the rolling goals which would also include points for getting a rolling goal off of the ground. | ||
+ | * We figured out that the ramp would not work but that two pegs on the end of the robot ended up working well. | ||
