Any ideas on what 1072's robot will look like? A hint: a lot of fiberglass was used.

Sounds like a gumball machine

Team 1163 is examining and prototyping a design based on a round hay bailer. Different companies built many of these machines and the system is familiar to the students on the team.

Re: Where does the ball exit your robot?

Wow! Sounds like a lot of different ideas...right now, we're considering having the ball shot out of the top or or the bottom, but there are advantages and disadvantages to both. if you have it shot from the top, your robot will most likely be top heavy, and could tip easily (not good for climbing the ramp.) If its on the bottom, then it will provide a low center of gravity, but could easily be blocked. hmmm....

we're thinking of having the ball come out the top of our robot, but having it shot from the bottom/middle...we'll see how that works :ahh:
