Re: Dumpers?

THis year is our school's first year in participation in FRC, and we tried to keep it nice and simple. What we did was we built a ball depository with a 45 degree inclince toward the front of the robot. The dumper is elevated with metal bars above the chassis, and we also have a rotating bar in the front of the hopper with the proper grip to shoot the balls at a distance of maximum 3 feet approx. So in a sense, we might a hybrid launcher with an inclined dump.
