So, what are the vital stats? Weight, ball capacity, range, firing rate, etc.
|
Height: 59 7/8"
Length: 27 3/4"
Width: 37 7/8"
Weight: 116 lbs Nothing had to be removed to make weight 
Ball Capacity: 7 ish
Range: 2-10 feet variable
Firing rate: Slow but being worked on.
Like Alan mentioned we have a very distinctive bell sound when we shoot. This is due to the resonate frequency of the large aluminum striker plate on the cyclinder.
We pick up the balls and transport them outside of the robot perimeter while the hooks stay within said perimeter.
Our progremmer was very good. We can lead the target and put the balls in the trailer.

pardon my stupidity, but how does it shoot?

Not a stupid question. The balls come up the spine and are transported over the top of the shooter where they drop down into the shooter bowl. An air cylinder/striker plate strikes the ball and sends it on it's way.
