Whoa! Look at those chewed up balls... What are you using for a shooter? A Belt Sander? :ahh: Or is that caused by your ball pickup system which fires balls up that Skateboard style loop. Either way I can't wait to see it in action at Trenton. Just leave a couple balls intact for the rest of the bots. :D

in NJ and NYC.

Actually, the balls were chewed up by some of our prototypes. Let's see, we had a motorizerd "ball-whacker" style catapult launcher, a drum covered with treading material, that was held on with zip-ties for testing purposes, and a steel model for our harvester. :D
