The crosshair system sounds intriguing. How does it work? Do you use video feed from the camera to create a display on the OI?
The robot looks a lot like the Patriot. How much of an influence was it when you were designing?
See you soon.

Software didn't get enough integration time to get the wheel moving at different speeds. So, they'll be working on that at the regional
It's not video feed. It's a graphic cross hair on the laptop we are bringing to the drive station. There is a little box that indicates where the goal is in relation to where the shooter is pointing. If the green dot is where the two hairs meet, then we will hit the target.
There was some Patriot influenced design. The storage was originally the same idea Patriot had with the angled shelves. After mocking that up we found that the balls easily got stuck and we changed it to a spiral.
