Re: ball cannon???

if any of you were at the wisconsin regional in 2006 or saw team 111 (wildstang) play at nationals you know what a ball cannon can do...

or if any of you saw the team that won the chairmans award in 2006, team 111 wildstang... this was their ball cannon

i wouldn't be suppirsed if their 20 motorola engineer mentors and the students cranked out some ball launcher with teeth to go into the orbit balls and throw them... or even an arm to throw it.

in 2006 wildstang during the autonomous mode locked onto the target would dump their entire 5-10ball hopper strait into the top target. and when i say strait i mean a solid stream of 10 balls or so dumped in 5 maybe 6 seconds so i wouldn't doubt if there were some more attempts at copying this robot this year
