Shhh, they don't need to know that A custom carbon fiber tube would've exceeded to $400 limit on any one part. Too bad though!

We're able to make shots quickly and consistently. During one of our rounds, we were able to get three 3pt shots in within 1 minute.

@engunneer - Thanks! It was a stressful hour, for sure. As for the Kinect gestures - We're using the left arm to control the left motors, and the right arm to control the right side. Depending on what our objective is for a particular Autonomous round; drain a few 6pt shots or unload the neutral bridge, we change motor outputs and what certain gestures do.
