Re: pic: Top Gun Going Into the Box

It's hard to believe that this is the same team that built a machine almost entirely from wood last year. It looks as if you've all been working with aluminum for ages.

You looked busy at the scrimmage so I didn't want to interrupt, but I'm curious about how your conveyor works. Is it gravity fed from the initial feed backward to the larger system of belts and pulleys?

I also see you've added a big crossmember to the front after the run in you apparently had in Bellevue

I'm looking forward to playing with you all next week in Portland. We completely abandoned shooting in favor of storing and, hopefully, scoring a great number of 1 pt. balls based on what we saw at that scrimmage. I didn't get to see your machine shoot at all -- how do you think it stacks up?
