 Every robot needs a locky-thingy. A robot without one might fire when it isn't supposed to, and hit the wrong target; e.g., a referee, FTA, or robot inspector. - Richard Wallace [more] |

Re: pic: Aiming High with Balloons!
I am extremely sure that any ballon that went through our shooter would pop. Were you able to fire these?

Re: pic: Aiming High with Balloons!
I was a little concerned when I saw the word "balloons".
But when I saw 1523's catapault bot, I was relieved.

Re: pic: Aiming High with Balloons!
The catapult worked great and to our surprise fired the balloons without any problems or popping them. Unfortunately the autonomous "dance" was meant for a full size field, so our bot "tripped" and fell on the mid-field ramp very early in its routine (but still fired off a balloon lying on its side). Now we're thinking about renting it out for birthday parties!

Re: pic: Aiming High with Balloons!
After doing our own robot demo today, and having forget all of poof balls *smacks head*, we improvised with balloons. To keep the balloons from popping, inflate it so that it is approximately the same size as a poof ball. Then take duct tape in small strips (long strips rip balloons) and cover every square inch of the wannabe-poof ball. The duct tape prevents the balloons from snagging and popping. This idea works great! Try it!

As said above "Wow". Ain't duct tape grand! Great problem-solving.
