Re: Team 1339 Reveal

Ironic Dead Bird is correct. It is essentially a wheeled shooter, ala a pitching machine. The front wheels are both the intake and the shooter. The wheels behind them are unpowered dead axle, and are simply the holding mechanism (they hold very firmly; we tried to punch and kick the ball out and couldn't move it out). The pneumatics are for pushing the ball into the wheels.

Other notable features:
-3Cim Ball Shifters with 5.1:1 and 15.5:1 in an East Coast wheelbase
-sweet 1 1/4" x 4" Colsons, crown-flattened and with a lightweight hub straight from BaneBots. I will add pics of these later; they deserve a spotlight!
-220 degree arm rotation, picks up and shoots from the front or the rear
-nice 'n easy piston-only ground or kiss pass

Ask if you've got any other questions!
