Our team does not use a tray bot. So out of curiosity, could someone help clarify to me how teams like 1961Z can fold their intakes before a match, and what mechanisms they used for the folding? And could someone also show me a diagram of this?
I believe 1961z has their intakes on hinges, which means that they can fold the intakes to the side to fit in this size limit. pivoting deploys from either the sides or the top are common as well. but you don’t necessarily need to fold your intakes, if you make your base short enough (usually 30 holes or less) you can get away without having any deploy at all. imo this is the best approach.
