My only question is, have you guys tested the possibility of holding more than 3 balls? Your dumper only has room for 3, but it looks like there may be room for an extra ball between acquisition roller and dumper, unless I'm just not seeing something.

Yes but when we retract the rollers we reverse the rollers to get any balls out of the way!

Looking forward to FLR!

Hey - Don't you know you're supposed to throw them into the baskets from past half court? They count more that way, don't they? Er, on second thought maybe not...

Nice machine. You'll score a lot more with this than a shooter that takes a lot of time to collect and line up, then misses one out of three (or more) shots. Its all about cycle time and scoring percentage.

Chance of 340 doing well at FLR: 100%.

This is a fantastic robot that I'm honored to be competing with. Can't wait to see you there!

Hahaha, that's too funny... but it's so true!

Exactly! That came up early in our discussions! If a shooter misses one ball, they can score a maximum of 6 points between their last two shots. And when we make all three, we'll be at six points too. So we'll see how it goes! We're excited!

Thanks for all the kind words everyone!
