I believe the turret rotates to about 233 degrees (oh okay close to it... don't remember specifically). We carry roughly 14 cells.

Pro.E
You are probably thinking about Roccobot 2k or 2k2. No powdercoating this year. We left it gray and angry.

I would like to answer these questions (look up for amount of cells we carry) but we have some serious work to do on Thursday in hopes of improving our numbers to a more acceptable level. So sorry, won't give exacts. Ask again after Thursday.

Thanks Alex and Dillion, we will keep that in mind on Thursday. Video of us powering Roccobot 2k9 for the first time.
