Heres the basics:
-Direct drive to 4 wheels, 2 wheels in the center allow for traction over the barrier
-pistons push down a bar to lower the bridge
-intake roller leads to a polycord elevator system
-wheels propel ball from the top and bottom to shoot, and the shooter head can change its angle
-camera (not mounted yet) determines distance from hoop and the shooting angle and shooting speed will be adjusted to make the shot
-hopefully sonars will be added to determine where we are on the field and how close we are to the barrier

Good luck and we'll see you at NYC and Chesapeake!
