Since Pittsburgh is only a couple days away, I figured I would post what video footage we have. For your enjoyment http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLuLzc1rGmw

Specs.:

Drivetrain: 6 wheel drive, 4 CIM two speed Tigerdrive ball lock transmissions, 4 plaction wheels, 2 dualie plastic omni wheels and raised center wheels to help us over the bump.

Multiple position kicker: Kicker has three programmed positions, but can be stopped at any point between those three positions. Surgical tubing provides the kick and window motors and a gate latch provide the preload. We have an automatic aim mode and a manual aim mode with feed back that is displayed on our dashboard. Also we have a kick strength meter displayed on our dashboard

Ball magnet: Our ball magnet is comprised of two small rollers that pinch the ball. The video is of our rough design that has since been improved to ensure a tight grip on the ball.

Hanging/righting arm: Our arm uses fisher price motors and p-60 Banebots gearboxes for rotation and extension/retraction of the arm. After we are hooked on the bar we retract our hook to a latched position and use our shoulder rotate us fully into scoring position.

The video isn't of a finished machine, but that's all the video we have. We should have a much improved ball magnet for Pittsburgh after a couple tweaks.
