Re: pic: 888 Ball Shooter Prototype

First off, thats not "our" electronics room. That is my personal office that I have been renting out to Team 888. (I'm still looking for a secretary. I'm looking for anyone who can write poems, fill waterbottles, make runs to RoFo, and keep my radios charged)

And we have a test board set up with a dpdt switch, breaker panel, battery connectors, and a battery mount that we use to test our prototypes. I would recommend that all teams with similar materials should build one of these boards as they make testing very easy. I can post the schematic if anyone wants it.

One of the things we found with this design is that it is important to have that metal sheet tangent to the wheel to provide the maximum friction.
