Re: 179 Swamp Teasers

Great job! My team is working on a different/similar design because we were doing a holding mechanism that was similar but powered by motors and had no ramp so we have a higher notch shooter.

I also did some pixel calculations using paint and this is my find (roughly):
wheels = 104 pixels sooo,
1 inch = 17.33 pixels
14 inches= 242.67 pixels
Past the frame perimeter:
extends = 237 pixels sooo,
final extends = ~~13.67 inches, seems good to me.

also in the picture with the ramp set up, was that 22 degrees. I calculated about 27 degrees (probably just a calculation error, unless the picture was before a mod that allowed it to be only 22 degrees).
