1. Top speed in each gear?
2. More specs on roller. Material, surface speed, power, floating?, How fast did you back up with it? Any software managing roller?
3. More specs on kicker. Energy storage, recoil method, variable?, etc.

Nice underglow. We considered red/blue underglow corresponding to alliance color, but decided to use the lights for feedback indicators instead.

I like the 469 stoppers. However, we found at Troy in the finals that it is more effective to let them enter the tunnel and steal their balls then it is to block them from entering the tunnel. Those things probably weigh like nothing so they couldn't hurt to add.
