- Smaller, cheaper, in an emptier area of the spectrum
Ball Control (mechanical and electrical) Features
- Measure charge voltage
- Add support for chipping
- Exceed regulation kicking speed
- Ball sensor
Mechanical
- Encoder
- Support for chipping
- Lower CG
- Being able to reliably stop from max speed without flipping
- Competitive Accel/Decel
- Smaller drive modules
- Less Maintenance of drive module and rollers
- Ground Clearance
- Lower CG
