Re: CalGames 2012: Info

Actually, the burning smell was coming from the motor(s) for our "sweeper" that carries the balls from the intake area up to the shooter wheel. The roller had jammed causing the motors to overheat. That is why we were unable to shoot in the first final match and why we called the time out. We un-jammed the roller and did a systems check which showed the motors to be running but, unfortunately, in the second final match the problem recurred and we were unable to shoot again.
