Eric our intrepid human player - thanks again for lending a hand in Atlanta last year. That snow storm sure threw us for a loop. Hopefully the weather cooperates this year! We will definitely be at Sussex in two weeks - we wouldn't miss it!

The cylinder is a 1.5" bore with a 6" stroke. If you look at the top edge of the "bucket" you'll see the top part of a hinge. That's attached to an aluminum flap that, whenthe cylinder is extended, "kicks" the ball as the grabber releases. All of this happens with the grabber above the overpass so the ball clears it and bounces down on the other side - hopefully not on your robot!
Good luck!!
