I love the bot and it would be awesome to see some video.
Lots and lots of CAD.
I can truly say that this build season, of my four years in FIRST, has been the busiest, the most stressful, and the most work I've ever done. I've loved every minute of it, and learned more than any other year.

As to answer you question, it cannot tilt down, but we have a magnetic sensor on the Fischer price gear box for the flywheel that monitors rotations, we have programing so that the closer the trailer is, the slower the flywheel spins, thus adjusting how far the balls will go. We utilized similar ideas on 2k6.
