Sure here is some info....

Intake roller with flails elevates balls to two separate ramps evenly. The balls are then dropped down the ramps into the launch prep stage. There is a cam in the back of the bot, that pulls balls from each side into the elevator in the back, thus creating two loading bays. The balls then fly up the elevator to the shooter turret. From there, the camera locks onto a target and uses distance to correctly shoot the balls into a hopper.

Features:
Traction Control
4 Wheel Swivel Steer
Roller Intake
Cam/Elevator Feeding Mechanism
170 degree turret.
Camera aim/speed control.
3 balls / sec.
