Re: Last Minute Changes

A thing we're considering is changing up (read: removing the entire top half of the robot) and changing to a hood shooter/pitching machine shooter, because as of now we are the ONLY team at the NC regional that is using an air cylinder firing mechanism. It works like a charm, and scared the hell out of a veteran team with its speed and power (without the block on the end to punch the ball the piston will go THROUGH the ball without it moving at all), but its just not as reliable or fast reloading as a pitcher.
