Re: 2386 shooter

In regards to the shooter wheels, we took regular 8" frc grip wheels and rapped them with surgical tubing. The reason why we rapped them was because we found it gave us good compression along with a lot of grip.

In regards to the CNC work, everything is done in house (minus possible powder coating ). Our school is lucky enough to have our own CNC plasma cutter along with a CNC mill. The designing is done by students along with some mentors to keep things in control. Our robotics team is old school which means we like to look good but it doesn't compromise our ability.
