*Another problem was that the goal grabbers and the guide were not working as well as the team had conceived beforehand. The robot would drive over the kickstand, on top of the goal, therefore having the robot touch the tube, resulting in multiple major penalties.This became a recurring, evident problem during semifinals and finals. Alliance captain 4433, also known as Smoking' Motors, stepped up and helped us place two flat plates around the guide, rendering it useless, and thus TEMPORARILY fixing the problem. Like center of gravity, this is an important problem to fix and pay attention to. | *Another problem was that the goal grabbers and the guide were not working as well as the team had conceived beforehand.
