ACTUALLY thats not a bad idea... *long as your under hight requirements* you could mount a fan on your robot. I'm thinking and i just did the math, that if you had a 22" fan blade going around 1500 RPM's you could blow away the 9" foam ball. you could use 1 CIM * i think thats there RPM's i haven't checked. if so.. you would only need to turn it on when they shoot other wise you can push balls in your corner or go on D. You need a tyranny with a really high recto so you get high speed in a matter of secs. AND the battery draw shouldn't be much since 2 Min's and only for a matter of sec's.. BUT don't listen to me i only build what my team says to *referring to last year because sadly I'm not on a team this one.*

Just my .02 cents
