Re: Beatty's 2004 Robot

In auton mode it will float to the 18 balls and suck them all up into a small basket that temporarily stores them in an alternate universe. Then it floats to the center platform grabs the 2x ball with a powerful suction device (not unlinke 267 Demolition Squad) then quickly sits in front of the chute waiting to feed the balls back to their human player (who will be an android with a 100% shooting accuracy). After Auton mode the robot feeds all of the balls to the android. Then caps the soon filled goal. And floats to the platform where it will sit on top of the bar. From the bar it can move side to side and efficiantly defend it. It's capper apendage will be telloscopic and easily be able to decap the opposition's stationary goal. It will also have a tractor beem to pull it's alliance partner onto the bar in the last 10.5 seconds of the game.
..

OR, they'll try and control the game like they have in past years (but with in reason). I foresee a very good hanging/capping system. And possibly a good autonomous mode.
