Re: Team 842 Two Ball Auto

Great job Falcon.

I was wondering when that 2 ball video would show up for you guys, but I also knew it was coming!....I'd Bet you could also set the ball #2 2" or more from the P.U. bumper & load the second ball into the butter fly wings pickup first, without picking it up more than say 1-2" off the floor and then drive forward only once w/ both balls carried, stop, and shoot ball #1, intake load, unclamp, & then shoot ball #2 and kill about 4 seconds or more. (Just seems to me from previous vids when the intake wasn't attached, that the ball#1 would not fall out of your bot during the straight short drive forward). Since after the auto period start, you can carry 2 game pcs this year . (You just cannot have 2 balls touching the robot before the game begins is all). It would just remove that drive back & forward the second time and shorten up the whole auto sequence a bit.

Looking forward to competing w/ you guys in PHX. next mo. (We bagged at 7:45 PM local time), tonight after a pizza and ice cream party....SUPER Relaxed ship night I'd say for a welcomed change, as all we did all night on the comp bot was blow it out well in the shop w/ compressed air and take off a required reproduceable part of the pickup that we wish to complete a few sets of spares on in the next few weeks and bag a working & hard tested bot.

The shop is closed until Sunday! Whew.
