- Changing the way we were indexing frisbees, from pushing it from the outside to pulling it from underneath - by doing that, and replacing the magazine with an open structure that would just direct the frisbees into place, we managed to prevent jams.
- Finally, we added an extention to the end of the rail that leads the frisbees to the open magazine and added another roller underneath it to provide a "final push" to get them into place correctly.

We automated several processes and made some changes to the program as well, and that's about it...

Needless to say we're proud of the result, and we'll make sure to get everything done in time for the israeli regional in the upcoming season.
Cant wait to see your 2014 water robot!
