How are your motors allocated? It looks like 3 CIMs and 2 FPs for drive, 1 CIM for kicker, most likely CIM for arm... is the ball magnet run with a window motor? I never would have thought to see FP motors in the drivetrain after your drive sizing thread.

Also, how did you get the magnet to work with the varying height of the chassis (when switching from agile to tractiony drive)? Seems like it would be a pesky problem to work around.

As with 148's bot, I really wish I could see this thing in person!




Heh, I was going to mention the same thing.
I see 5 cims in the nonadrive, FP for lifter and kicker, and window motor for ball grabber. It looks like 148 switched the FP's into the drivetrain and used cims for kicker and lifter.
