Re: The end of week 3

FIRST 1296 is building a a mecanum driven robot that can pull balls in from all four sides, uses a rotating double-wheeled shooter, can lower the ramp and go over the bump (carefully). Everything is prototyped and we think it will work.

We are a few days behind - had to wait longer than normal for some fabricated parts from our sponsor. But the robot will be driving this weekend. The ball gatherer and feeder will get built early next week and the shooter the next week. So we are on target to get a full week of practice and tuning the performance of the robot.

Now if all the parts will come in on time...
