I really feel that like the little will matchload this season, someone will crack the solution to flipping/orientation change and everyone will implement it in someway or another! I am trying to crack it myself but only have a few ideas, such as tipping pieces with a doinker of sorts (I think thats what its called) and then intaking them with a top down intake into an area where they can be put upright by a pivoting base plate/piece thats drops them upright into a chamber, and then the two chambers merge into one!
I think that the starting position of the pins are really hard to pick up with a claw. Maybe you need a motor to rotate the whole claw to turn the pin?
I think descore mechs would be good if you were good enough at driving, seeing as possession limit is 1.
Descoring is a disqualification if it’s not your alliance/neutral goal
I think some robots with DR4Bs and rotating claws would be cool. (I’m not an expert but that’s the design I’ve been considering myself)
