Here's a pic of 1986 Team Titanium's long-range shooting bot,
FORCE-II. This catapult shooter can fire any distance from 1 to 35 ft. on a 270 degree turret. We feel super cells are the key to winning, so when it comes to empty cells, we take care of business right now....shooting empty cells directly from the outpost into the corners, one at a time, quickly, so our alliance can focus on playing and scoring instead of making 4 trips to the outpost. After two regionals, we are pretty darn good at it. But we can also harvest balls and shoot at trailers, from a five-ball magazine, and have pretty good vision aquisition. Sometimes we use our gathering and shooting capability to return balls to the corners. Our 3rd-year driver is crazy good, and our outpost shooter is deadly. Can't wait to team up with some top-notch scorers for the ultimate offensive alliance. Here's a youtube of us in action:
