Team 816's 2009 Robot Anomaly V8.0 "The Shumper"

Here's our 2009 Robot, Anomaly Version 8, in all of it's glory.





The robot was designed to be as simple as possible. We tried to keep separate systems to a minimum in an attempt to make a reliable design. We also felt that ball capacity was important as well as offload speed rather than the effective range of the scoring device.

Specs:
9fps top speed
21 Ball Capacity
1 Foot Maximum Range
Dumps 10 balls in ~1sec
Can Load Directly From any Payload Specialist
Can "Grab" a single ball reliably (Super Cell or Empty Cell)

And because this is the question asked the most, the belt can be found at McMasterCarr P/N 6173K37

I Have to Thank Akash Rastogi from Team 11, Craig Hickman from Team 1595, RC from Team 1323, and Brian from Team 103 for their Design Advice Throughout the Season.

See You in Jersey, Philly and Atlanta!
