Re: Horizontal Shooters
Team 116 has a horizontal-style shooter as well (at least, we think it is still on the robot - it seems we had to go a little nuts with the Sawzall during the last three hours before the robot went in the crate and remove several subsystems, due to some team members being slightly uncomfortable with our 147 pound weight - without the battery or bumpers! <sigh>). Anyway, we do (did?) have a horizontal shooter, and it was working very well the last time we saw it. During testing, it was launching balls half way across my back yard (at 11:30pm - I don't even want to know what the neighbors think any more...). We will see you in Richmond, and can compare notes!
