We still have a lot of work to do. We need to add a bridge lowerer and add some pipes behind the conveyor belt to guide the ball. Also we are adding spinning surgical tubing ball gatherer on the front. Any comments?

If you think those names are close I believe there are...


Full Metal Jackets
Metal Jackets
Full Metal YellowJackets

Were "Team Black Hawk"
and there are also "Black Hawks"

:s running out of puns I guess....



Also Nice frame. I dont understand your choice of a non-pneumatic wheel in the center. currently youre always on only 1 set of pneumatics, where if you went pneumatic-pneumatic-slick, youd be on 2 pneumatics half the time(assuming drop-center), and still be able to turn fine...

Yeah last year our name was Bearbots, which sounds kinda silly to me. Our school mascot is a Bear.


We went back and fourth on what wheels to use and whether to go over the bump or not. We only had four pneumatic wheels on hand. So, I think that's why we did that.
