Can't wait for VCU. See you all there. Have any videos?

Another imaginative and innovative design from 1086! We had the opportunity to play with 1086 @ Sonic Tools. I have to say it is a wicked design. We look forward to seeing ya'll at VCU.

[Mr. Ivey]

Why did you guys only use 2 air tanks instead of 384 with four?

[1086VEX]

well...we saw it necessary that we put a second CIM on our conveyor system which set us back 3 pounds. so we spend all monday cheesing everything that wasn't cheesed and the clipards were something that got taken off... but we got enough weight back to put a 3rd on. 384 stuck with the original design of 1 cim

[Mr. Ivey]

What advantage does the extra CIM give you guys over the 384 setup?

[1086VEX]

well on our prototype with the single cim the belt would stall rather ofter. the extra cim made it nearly impossible to stall, and it gave a little extra boost to our puking mode:yikes:

I love that name for the mode. Is is basically just a fast dump or does it dump them on the floor?

it just basically launches all of our balls about 1 or 2 feet out of our hopper...just enough for a point blank shot
