1771 2012 shooter test

Looks like it just needs a few tweaks and it will be ready to go!


Shooter Test

Edit: By the way, that trash can is 20" in diameter, 2" larger than the actual hoop, so competition results can be expected to be worse.

Let's see the bot first! It may just be a 2006 bot in disguise!

Doesn't matter; the pitching machine is proved to be fairly consistent. Now test it with scuffs, punctures, and chunks missing.

I can guarantee that that it isn't the 2006 bot, I heard that that bot caught fire in the middle of the field at Peachtree . There is no remnant left.

But seriously, it's just a prototype.

Re: 1771 2012 shooter test

Re: 1771 2012 shooter test

Nice work thus far!

Make sure you test that thing on a hoop as soon as you can. You will be surprised how relatively small of a target that is.

Oh that nasty chain sound from 2006. How about some timing belts and pulleys to quiet it down.
