Looks like it just needs a few tweaks and it will be ready to go!

Edit: By the way, that trash can is 20" in diameter, 2" larger than the actual hoop, so competition results can be expected to be worse.

Let's see the bot first! :p It may just be a 2006 bot in disguise!

Doesn't matter; the pitching machine is proved to be fairly consistent. Now test it with scuffs, punctures, and chunks missing.

Maybe that is a pitching machine.

I can guarantee that that it isn't the 2006 bot, I heard that that bot caught fire in the middle of the field at Peachtree ::ouch:: . There is no remnant left.

But seriously, it's just a prototype.

That's what I mean.

Obviously its some motors spinning in the background and a person shooting the ball. Pictures or it didn't happen. :o

Nice work thus far!

Make sure you test that thing on a hoop as soon as you can. You will be surprised how relatively small of a target that is.

That's the 2009 bot.

true.. it is a rule of the internet. pics or nothing happened.

Oh that nasty chain sound from 2006. How about some timing belts and pulleys to quiet it down.

[P. Fuller]

(I'm going under the assumption that it is actually a prototype throwing the balls). How did you build a structure/shooter that fast?

Recycled parts from earlier bots....Not lega for competition, but good for prototyping.

Gotchaa

[Spen.M.P.]

Didn't you all have a shooter on the top of your robot in 2009? I am trying to remember. I am pretty sure you did. If so, that modified would be perfect.

[Kpchem]

I'm curious - what height were you holding the shooting mechanism at, and how far away from the hoop was it? I'm trying to get a better sense for how that would equate to on the field performance.

Mr. Wilson won a local Woody Flowers award, I would not accuse him of lying. (PS - check out where he works as Lead Engineer http://www.meggitttrainingsystems.com/main.php )

This is definitely real. I can see the corner of the 2009 shooter in the bottom left corner of the screen. Glad to see the shooter is still running strong.
