The shooter sits below the hopper and is hinged on one side so our team can get to the shooter to make any tweaks. Video of it should be up soon. I hope...

I brought this idea up with my students, but they concluded that we wouldn't have room with our climber... but MAN did I want to do this.

The whole assembly is only a couple inches tall. But does almost takes up the whole foot print our chassis. We still have plenty of room for our climber.

Very interesting Idea and unique from what I have seen at this moment. If your robot heats up you can cool it down just run it faster XD. Jokingly Love the Idea!.

Looking good can't wait to see it in action

Neat idea, we had a similar plan but figured out another way to do it that did not require a motor, which kind of has to stop at the right place. Also our new design is a bit narrower.

I like yours, you figured out how to make it easier than we had....and it looks like it should work fine!

Looks just like a cyclone feed system for a paintball gun.
