Finally, we got our whole bot together (except in different sections, lol) and here is a video of our CIM powered centrifugal arm shooter with a direct link to the battery at full speed. It is capable of spinning up to ~1100 RPM in <2 seconds. The only reason it slows down is because I pulled the wire off after the first touch because it scared the poop out of me.

Anyways, we will have a special video on stop build day of the whole robot and our specialty autonomous and hybrid gameplay. There really is no shooting for the drivers :] the robot is 99 % computer and 1% human (drive train only).

Just wait Dallas East! We're showing up to play!

Have you tried running it through the appropriate circuit breaker yet?

What would that matter?

You may trip the breaker.

It shouldn't. Especially if we will be running it lower than that.
