We've been using broken balls for testing our robot, so we're pretty well used to the broken ball jamming/shooting problems. We've gotten our robot to work well with balls with only 1 or 2 broken bands, but when they get 4 or more they start to cause problems.

Having the trailer seems to affect our driving on the FRP in an interesting way...we only have 3 sheets, and only enough carpet for that much, so we can't even turn the robot around on the FRP with the trailer on it (our test area is 8 x 12 feet). I guess our driver will learn a lot Thursday of our first regional!
