Re: Last Minute Changes

At Lake Superior, we had a separate control of our intake roller and our poly cord ball elevator to our shooter. When we rammed the gear box to the ball elevator into the bridge during elims, one of our students very quickly decided to use surgical tubing to drive the poly cord roller from the still working intake roller as a makeshift workaround.

Turns out the drivers liked the new configuration better! We continued without a change (other than removing the now useless motor, controller & wiring) at 10K Lakes, and were Finalists-- getting the regional high score at our final winning match.
