Re: Team 4513 presents: Short Circuit

This is the second robot I've seen with a shooter and feeding system like this using high grip wheels. I am skeptical that a shooter that shreds the ball this much will be allowed to compete. I strongly recommend making changes that reduce or eliminate the damage done to the ball or at least being ready to make the changes if needed. The team I mentor has had good luck with 4" blue stealth wheels from andymark and they don't leave any marks on the balls.

Great looking robot. Im going to miss competing in the PNW this year(1318 drive coach, design lead, captain 2012-2015)
