good luck. Its unfortunate we wont see you unless we get put in the same division at nationals.
Drive = 4 wheel crab/swerve
How many balls = theoretically, we can hold about 36, but that is not ideal because it causes jamming that delays how long they can be shot/deposited in a trailer. We can keep 20 well lined up in silos and consistently deposit them within 5 seconds, sometimes 4 seconds. 36 balls would take as much as 10 seconds due to having to actively agitate them and waiting for them to settle.

My question is how do you guys bring the balls up further?
Like, your robot is full in the picture, but how do they go up?
lukevanoort is right. We have 4 silos that store balls and we raise the angled floors. See the WildStang sign - it goes up and down on each side separately.
