Re: pic: Team 469's Robot for 2006 pic 1

In case you see this thread from the New Threads and not from the picture gallery... The specifics:

Here is a picture I took while we were practicing on some morning this past weekend (not sure which one...it's all a blur)...

Some specifics:

- 4 motor, 3 speed drive
- 180 degree rotating turret which can be controlled by the camera (including exit angle)
- dual wheel shooting mechanism with velocity and spin control
- 30+ ball helix storage system
- floor loading cabable
- center goal tracking and scoring (2 bps)
- corner goal scoring capable
- expansion (not totally shown) for easier human loading

Here are some large videos I took with my digital camera when we were debugging the transistion from the helix to the conveyor system.
