Nice job 701!

It looks like you are launching from about 3' in the air. Is this where you will be launching on your bot? If not, try it from your proposed height, you may find your trajectory will be quite different. Either way, I know you will dial it in. It's just the RoboVike way!
Thanks Bill for the advice. Our next version will be shooting from about 15" from the ground. So it will surely be a different trajectory.

It looks like your shooter/arm setup is quite similar to what we have been prototyping! Nice job on the 20 foot shot, it looks to be really effective.

Ah, that was a fun semifinal! Thanks for the video link, it's one of the better ones I've seen from that competition. I'm the human player for 1332 in that video. You guys certainly pushed us around. Our rookie team this year has built a much sturdier drive train for the same reason as our alliance members on 1339 (who were excellent, by the way!).

What kind of drive system did you have for your team that season?

4-wheel tank drive, with plaction wheels on the back and omnis on the front. It was reasonably effective, but we felt like the omnis in front were limiting our pushing power. This year, 4944 will be using six plaction wheels.

We stick with the six wheel aluminum treaded wheels with a dropped center wheel. That's what we used last year, and we are using it again this year.

Very impressive. That is a far shot. Is the power going to be adjustable?

Our new design calls for the need to pull back the slider nearly all the way back to load. We plan on having a stopper that comes up and down by a pneumatic, so we can do long shots, far shots, short assists, and long assists. This will stop our ball seat from going the full distance, in turn making the launch distance shorter.
