343 also had a turret for their gun.

Any issues with you guys and shredding balls? If not, you guys look to be an awesome competitor once again this year.

343 wasn't nearly as bad as another team at VCU. Another team had their robot turned off in one of the practice matches because it was COMPLETELY destroying/shredding/damaging the balls. When the team picked their robot off of the floor, it looked as if it had snowed!
