Well there are some videos floating around, but our drivetrain is basically an andy mark shifter with 6 ifi wheels with the middle wheel slightly lowered to help with turning. 6 wheel tank drive would be its catagorization.

Basic strategy will vary, but in our autonomous mode we'll have a few options, our most succesful so far as been in the first 10 seconds we are able to unload the 10 balls into the loader zone very quickly.

Hopefully we'll be stronger on defense than offense mainly because we don't shoot the ball. However our ball intake and output has proven to be very succesful and reliable, so a combination of the 2 will probably be reached to play most of our matches.

As far as getting balls into the sytem we can do it from the bottom or the top either way is fine.
