Re: 3 point shots

Well when we were designing our robot and getting ideas and such. We came up with a few guidelines we wanted the robot to go by. Such as we want an autonomous mode (of course). We wanted to harvest balls and shoot them to higher goals and lower goals if possible. Well once we finally ended with an idea we decided to build from the ground up. Meaning we start with the chassis and then the harvester, and the transmission, and once we get to the top than we would work with the shooter. Well by the time we got to the top of the robot. We weighed it and it was about 90 lbs meaning not enough weight to put the shooter and whatnot. So yea we started with the idea that we wanted the shooter and ended up with something else completely different.
