Re: how far have you gotten on your robot?

well we came up with this really cool see-saw design to move the balls to the shooter, but as a consequence we couldn't use the kit bot, which though primitive is really strong if put together right. for motors we are gonna end up using either cim motors with DeWalt transmissions for the most power. if the finance goddess blesses us, we might put 4 cims for extra power. we like push power especially with the defence quarter thing. we did that last year, so we are just waiting on parts

i made a shooter merely using the old bot for a platform and the softball launcher design. separately we got the camera to work after much tinkering.

are we the only team having problems with the camera locking onto ceiling lights as well as the target?
