How fast can it shoot? Did you have to develop any fancy control algorithms?

I still can't believe this is going to be in competition...

EDIT: I am still noticing the glaring absence of any IFI control system components; maybe this is your "show and tell" robot (not competition legal)?

If it's falling apart it's a mechanical problem. If it's spewing smoke it's a electrical problem.
If it's rampaging around destroying things it's a programming problem.
