We were quite successful in 2007. Regional Champions in Portalnd Oregon and Finalist in Philidelphia. Attached you will find a picture of our Robot. Team 272. Simplicity is the key(KISS). The tower was extremly fast and the programming exceptional allowed us to know when a tube was within range. Go the
www.thebluealliance.net and look at the Oregon Regional from 2007 to see our robot in action. My team is already considering a similar design obviously there is the issue with the bumper being across the entire perimeter but we believe that there are work arounds. Any specific design questions from this model email me and I can be more specific.
