Team 3885 Presents Thunderbolt II

Sorry for being a little late on the video but VEX State Championships will do that to you.

Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xXjOwtk1b50

As far as specs go we have a 6 wheel drop center drive ran off of two-two CIM AndyMark SuperShifter with speeds around 3 and 10 FPS. A little slow but it should be pretty strong.

We are using a pneumatic powered arm to drop down and two VersaWheels ran off of a 28:1 bag motor to collect the ball.

We raise the arm to our Aren Hill/VEX Pro inspired "choo-choo" catapult ran off of a 500:1 banebot 775 motor.

Fire away with any questions.
