Motor Groups

Snapshot is equipped with two Motors for its Arm and Intake.

Configuration & Python Command Name	Description	API Documentation
Arm Motor arm_motor	The Arm allows the robot to release disks from some of the dispensers and reach over the barrier to touch the contact zone at the end of a match.	Blocks - Python
Intake Motor intake_motor	The Intake allows the robot to take in disks, or reverse the intake (reversing the intake is also called the outtake) to spin the disks out and away from the intake and score them. The Intake Motor starts at 0 degrees and will collect a Disc when spun forward for 180 degrees, and score or drop a Block when spun in reverse for 180 degrees.	Blocks - Python
