Re: Team 1114 - Simbot Sentinel

I'm very eager to see Simbot Sentinel competing at GTRE this weekend! Making guesses, but I see what looks like...

- ~32" long x 24" wide frame
- 6WD with 8" Pneumatic Wheels... hard to see anything for the drive gearboxees
- Short utility arm for 1) harvesting balls, 2) loading shooter, 3) operating CDF and Portcullis
- A scaling mechanism that is a two-stage arm. May use gas springs to power hang?

I honestly can't tell what the shooter is... it looks like either a wheeled shooter, a catapult, or a shooting mechanism on an arm (similar to 846 and 1690).
