Re: Team 1448 R6

We don't really plan on putting in a reloading function, because we feel that we would be spending too much time trying to pick up balls (which happened to us during Aim High). After we fire our shot, we're using our dumper to herd/transport moon rocks and empty cells to our human shooter.

The dumper works by simply raising a pair of pneumatic cylinders and having an agitator underneath shake the blue plastic. This makes the balls come out, even if they are stuck together.
