I'm standing on the other side of the overpass with my arm up, this is where the trackball usually lands


See you at BMR!

Looking good!

How do you pick the ball up?

What kind of drive system do you have?

We'll see you at BMR.

We have a 6 wheel drive that uses 4 in. IFI traction wheels

The 2 "arms" that are at the very tip of our catapult open and close to swoop under the ball and hold it like a forklift, we can pull the arms up and close them into our body to hold the ball safely as we manuver

That's quite a launch!!!!!

Good thing 868 builds well, otherwise all that energy would tear it apart ;)

Here is a short vid with pictures of the pre-ship bot and video of 2 practice launches, we only launched twice at STL because of Mecanical/Electrical problems but all the bugs are fixed for BMR
