 Now, everyone knows that Oompaloompas are like bunnies in that they have an insatiable desire to multiply, and the same can be said with Michigan teams (with all due respect) which are currently multiplying and filling that hand-shaped democratic kingdom with their honorable number. - Eugenia Gabrielov [more] |

This year we are using conveyor belting to pick-up and release the ball.
We have 4 wheel drive & tank drive with steerable font end.
Using craftsman socket universal joints and the Ackerman steering principle - we have named it "Crafts-Ackerman" Steering.
We also have used a set of cross country ski's that raise and lower to knock the ball off the rack.

The $10 we paid for a used set of skis was not a budget breaker

The skis should deploy down so your robot can go skiing or water skiing.

Yes I'm sure you could find a used pair of old skis for $10 or free!
Even if purchased as new skis, approx $100 - they would easily fall within our additional parts price limit.
