Re: One more '06 robot thread
Interesting thread.

Not surprisingly, our prototyping showed more repeatability with horizontal wheels.

Complexity may have been the deciding factor, many teams (us included) had trouble getting the balls to their shooter. We came up with a solution during our scrimmage (two days to spare!), many other teams with both vertical and horizontal shooters did not come up with reliable ways to feed their shooters.

BTW 1519 was another consistent scorer with the horizontal wheels. Amazing accomplishment for a second year team.
