Team 2594's shooter prototype

[P. Fuller]

Thermal...lovely gracious professionalism. Why don't you just come right out and say that my team should just pack up and go home. I'm so glad that First has people like you to represent them.

Just going to put it out there; when you post a drawing of a design and ask for comments, please don't get angry when someone posts some sincere constructive criticism and then says good luck and that they would love to see a working feeder like you posted.

But, that is besides the point. Overall you have a very interesting design that I would love to see in action, but as ZehP said, depending on how high your actual shooter is off the ground, that might make it easy to block with opposing robots. You might also want to consider a way to pick balls off the ground, because going all the way across the field (and over the bump/bridge) to be fed might turn into a major pain during patches.

I would be very interested to see your design process, specifically why you chose the gravity fed hopper over the other types of ball collecting mechanisms possible.

Good luck!
