Re: Dumpers?

We Finally worked most of the bugs out of our powered dumper. It's able to offload 10 balls in about a second with a maximum range of about 1 foot.

We've codenamed it "The Shumper"

I think Dumpers will have a significant advantage in the number of balls scored in one instance. Our robot for example can hold 20 balls and we can offload them with about 80% accuracy in 3 seconds or less. As long as you have a good driver behind your dumper you'll be a force ot be reckoned with.
