We started some prototypes! Check out the videos on our social media. Over-the-bumper intaking will work, about 13/16" compression on the initial pickup worked well. Richard (the climb idea) was not as stiff as we had hoped, but it did work. We'll need to look at alternatives from the igus cable chain we have now. Indexer discussion continued, though without multiple power cells we can't move forward. Shooter testing with a wood model went more horizontal than vertical, but was fast. (I didn't catch how accurate it was)
Three prototypes within the first three days of meetings is way more than we've ever managed done before, so good work team!
