i guess a rotating top would do as well
That was the first thing that I thought of once I saw that green light. Set the camera to home in on the light and rotate the firing mechanism.

I'm pretty sure that team 648 is going with a crab steer system and that is the perfect drive system for that design idea. This will also be our first year for crab but we have been testing design and coding on the Robovation bot.
