Re: [FTC]: How far is everyone?

Heh.

We still haven't received 2 of the 4 kits. So the 2 newest of our teams are still in design. A great thing that came out of that though is we have ridiculously awesome spreadsheets for modeled ball trajectories that include wind resistance and backspin. The kids also came up with a great strategy/design combo that has the potential to use as little as four motors on the entire bot, hold 36 balls, and score anywhere they please.

Other than the designs, we're using old parts to prototype shooters.
