Very impressive design that has a 50% shot to be 254's worst nightmare in autonomous. lol

How have you tested it's durability for competition? Those balls can be flung with quite a bit of force depending on the robot and with a moment arm that long on a component that thin...could be rough. Even if you've rigorously tested, I'd still recommend using that 45 lb. allowance to bring several replacements for the blocker (and any other critical components connected to it).

Best of luck to you guys in Oklahoma this week!
