Sorry, the kids have all the good videos; I hope they will get them put into a decent movie some time next week. This is an early version of the shooter, going for 3, and our first run of 2:15 (the timekeeper forgot to end autonomous). The wheels have a number of advantages, and a couple disadvantages. They are really durable, they are fairly soft and sticky (78a), and their size makes for a much more compact, stable (and less scary) launcher. They also won't give us full court shots, but we didn't want that anyway.
The wall is some PVC pipes and some .08 Lexan; it slots right into the PVC stubs on the side of the bot. We are working on a version that is spring loaded, allowing us to do our 10 point hang while staying back to defend against full-court shooters; we might also make a shorter wall that gives us better agility when playing defense against low shooters. Thanks team 2240 Brute Force for the spring idea!
