My assumption is that shooter part comes down, collects balls, and then goes back up to shoot. Functions a lot like 179's robot (not accusing you of copying, just making a comparison). I like the design!

How big are the wheels in the rear?

Re: pic: Robot 2012
 

That's exactly how it works. Also, the wheels are 12'' in the back to get over the hump.

Awesome! What regional(s) will you be attending?

Re: pic: Robot 2012
 

We are attending Duluth and Milwaukee!

1716 will be attending the Wisconsin Regional (in Milwaukee) as well. I'm excited to see this design in action! How tedious is it to pick up balls with a narrow intake mechanism like that?

we're not entirely sure yet but with the gaer box once the magazine is full we should be able to go to shooting position in less than 2 sec.

I guess we'll be seeing you guys a lot then! Good luck and see you at the Competition!

Also feel free to ask for help from the guys in the pits there if you need it.

you guys have helped us out a few times before. We're CHSR HexHounds (no space). only 6 days 10 hours and 49 min from now till 'The End'. good luck

Very intriguing design! Having a shooter that doubles as a ball acquisition device is an interesting move and also saves weight. We probably wont be seeing you guys in competition (we're from NJ), but I wish you good luck!

Would you consider using pneumatic pistons to raise and lower the cannon? might be more effective.
