TechnoKats......

From the email i just recieved from Andy B. it looks like we plan on making many mistakes.....most to cut down our weight (we are right at 130).

Some changes include possibly making our gearboxes shift with pneumatics (wow..this may take some time )

Many drive base lightening ideas to save more weight.

Misc. ball collector/basket changes to make things even bigger and greater..

Possibly adding an extension

Misc. power management ideas, like getting rid of Fisher Price motors on drive base (i dont like the idea...just cuz a "6 motor gearbox" is cooler than a "4 motor gearbox"...lol)

We really havent talked about some of this stuff as a team so i really dont know what will be changing...but i'm sure we will be changing something to make a better and more competitative robot
