Ball Manipulation

Ester's job is to collect small rugby balls at a 2x3m field. Last year's experience lead to the decision that reliability must be the main and most important property of any future manipulator. Dana's hand was nice and smart, but too delicate and Barbora's scroll feeder worked only sometimes and only with some balls. According to our observations the most reliable design for ball manipulation at Euroboot 2002 was the use of cylinders. Therefore cylinders are also the basis of our design.
