It looks like you have lots of power. Do you need that much power? Is it safe? Is it consistent enough? How large will the final shooter be and how much will it weigh?

Wow, haha. A.) Yes, this was the amount of force calculated to get us scoring the high goal. We may have to modify once we get a shooter on the bot, but until then those are the rough specs. You can never have too much POWAAAAAAAAAAAAA. B.) It is safe, sort of... I wouldn't want to stand in front of it, but it has never come apart or exploded. C.) It is very consistent actually, again, we are still tweaking, but once we trim those guides a bit more, it should be even more consistent. D.) I'm not sure on the final design, although it is fairly compact, and is designed to sit in the middle of out bot, which is not that big if you watched the frame assembly video. Total weight, again, I'm not sure, but im gonna take a guess at about 15-20 lbs. I'll try and get a better measurement today.

I feel sorry for the robot that tries to block that shot.
