Re: Prototype Robot Complete

Curious - that's not a Bimba cylinder I see. What make/model is it, and am I correct in seeing that it has multiple positions, not necessarily just two?
Brilliant idea on the 5gal bucket ramp and aluminum. What's the fastest speed you can load frisbees into your system and not drop any?
Also a pretty slick hanging mechanism - I like how it's integrated seamlessly into the rest of the robot.
Final question - are you still running 2wd? If so then might I suggest that you look into adding the other two CIMs?
