We are driving around and can pick up balls fairly well. We are using a transfer conveyor to deliver the balls to the goal. We can hold seven at a time and can empty in eight seconds. Our speed is 8 fps and we can swivel under the 30' before we can get to the rail. Our drivetrain is probably our strength this year. Hanging is not a problem but I don't like it. The machine will lift the weight but I feel very exposed and I'm still not convinced it is worth the five additional points to risk it until the finals. We have some shortcomings but we should be able to compete.

I have always felt that it is a shame that we have to go against each other - if there was a collective goal and each team had a small part to design and complete - just think what an amazing effort we could put forth as one huge team!! I am looking forward to seeing everyone's final product.
