At least that won't happen 5 times this year! :rolleyes:

Great robot, I hope I get to see it in real life!

Well actually only 2 ties (if you are referring to the SAC quarter finals in 2007), but at least it won't be pushed to 5 matches.

Congratulations on an amazing and an original design! Can't wait to see it in action...

First time ever running it. EVER. I swear.

I guess my real question is how many times a match will you be able to load 10 & actually shoot ten at a time?
Also, are you using the camera to target the goal, or just dead reckoning with a perfect line of sight to the goal?

That is in impressive in any case, I just am wondering how feasible it will be during a match to get 10 balls in there & score all ten.

Well, we'll have to wait and see, won't we? :)

In any case we don't have to shoot all the balls in the magazine. The intake/elevator is on a victor so we can vary the speed and only feed a few balls in at a time.

We are also adept at both ground and HP loading. So we should be able to reload fairly quickly... or pickup what we've already missed.

I'm really hoping that this machine only works right when tipped 90 degrees....oh well. Wishful thinking. :P

Awesome Job guys! Keep up the great work!

Re: 10 Balls. 1 Second. Team 100.

This is almost exactly our design.:D The only difference is that you guys have separated the balls in to independent columns which is probably more effective. Its always reassuring to share a design with a respected, competitive and veteran team.

Re: 10 Balls. 1 Second. Team 100.

I counted 3 seconds. The thread title is misleading.

Though, that is still amazing. Personally, I think this is an amazing robot and a great feat of engineering. But I still need to see it with a moving target before I can really tell how well it will do at a comp.

Good luck to your drivers. They have a great bot to drive, they just have to use plenty of finesse.

Re: 10 Balls. 1 Second. Team 100.

I think it will be difficult to accurately align on a goal from that distance.

Also, how long does it take to load balls into that configuration? Can you only hold 10 balls?

This reminds me of the apocryphal question, "What caliber was the pistol?" If they're shooting into your trailer you probably won't care much whether it was one or three seconds...

Nice robot. I've watched this team at Portland before and they are always competitive. Good job.

It makes a lot of difference if they are repeatedly shooting you. Also, If you can tell their robot is going to shoot in two seconds, you might be able to use this to help dodge. Again, nothing against the design it is awesome. Just that when you are the prey, ever second matters.

I'd be much more afraid of a robot that lines up, then can immediately shoot 10 in a second.

A robot that has to line up, then go 1, 2, shoot 10, doesn't scare me one bit.

Re: 10 Balls. 1 Second. Team 100.

It appears as if there's no reason that, once they've loaded 10 balls into the machine, it can't be cocked and ready to fire.
