Re: Shooting Mechanism

Hey, sorry for the bad news but: Depending on the Hopper it could be considered part of the shooting mechanism.

Quote:
A shooter includes the mechanism that delivers the final dynamic impulse that ejects the ball from the robot, and any parts of the robot that contact the ball while and/or after this impluse is delivered. Depending on their exact design and construction, a subsystem that delivers balls into the final energy transfer mechanism may or may not be considered part of the shooter.
Oh and I just have a question.... is the reason we are talking about this because if the hopper isn't part of the shooting mechanism, then it can be out of the starting envelope?
