Couple of things. Today was pretty productive. We got the backboard framed up and the backboards cut out...We even got 1 hoop in the mail. Probably should have gotten more.

We got the bridge/bump made. Our bridge isn't calibrated. It tips way too easily. we'll have to figure it all out before too long.

One of the Team dads has access to some pretty cool metal working tools. He is going to stamp out our drop brackets with some scrap material at his work. This means we should be able to have a running drivetrain by Saturday.

The frame material gets here this week also. Looking at a busy week.

Finally, we are finalizing our hopper/dumper box. We will need some sort of agitator. Not sure how we'll work that out. Some were thinking we could add an offset weight to a banebots motor. Hopefully that won't shake the box to pieces.looks like if things work out wiht the lid we can poor balls into the middle hoop for a pretty reliable 2 points per ball. Perhaps we can even score during they hybrid period.
