Just some specs:

Drive:
6 wheels- 2 kit wheels in the back drive, 2 6" Omnis in the front.
Standard toughboxes 2 cims each- may regear at Silicon Valley depending on how practice matches go

Manipulator:
a C shape, top has a conveyor belt system powered by a globe motor that sucks the ball in. This entire section angles up and rises on a forklift to get the center of the ball a little bit above the top of the overpass.
Forklift-powered by two FP motors and standard FP transmissions. When spun one way they pull on a cable that lifts the forklift, spun the other way unspools the up cable while spooling in another cable that pulls down.

132 lbs. at last weigh in, it's turned pretty chessy since then and we didn't have time to weight it before shipped

please post any questions or comments
