It works best if the ball is either straight ahead, or 1 slot over. It is hard to get it from the opposite side starting position.
The ball popper works during hybrid or regular mode, the kids move it up and down with pneumatics.
The ball grabber can either hurdle or stuff.
This video is airing on Sunday--it is about our 24 rookies, mentoring them, and our 1st regional in OKC. If you watch--you can see our robot in action with the ball popper.

We had a great time in Kansas City also--we picked 1806 & 1802 (we were 8th alliance captain) and we had a great time playing with them. 1806 has a great bot--they came to OKC and won there too!
our team is staying at the Residence Inn (they have an awesome full, hot breakfast every morning) the kids picked the Residence over the Omni---thank goodness. I feel sorry for all the teams that had to be moved out of the Omni.
