Team 2733 Hint #1
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cSrnf...Q&lf=endscreen

This was originally made during week one, so a little outdated... but still fun.

If people can guess it, they get a cookie.

I will post a picture this week with a less cryptic hint.

You're going to have an arm that can suck in the balls a la roller claws in 2011 and be able to shoot them out.

Interesting thought... but no.

Re: Team 2733 Hint #1
Ok. Let me see.... Elephants can shoot water from their trunks, and volcanoes spew lava from their volcano-hole-thingys. You'll either make a really goo feederbot, or you'll be shooting out a bunch of things from your robot! Or both!

Re: Team 2733 Hint #1
Hmmm volcano vs. elephant. Volcanoes blow their top, so I'm guessing there's going to be a shooter mechanism. They're also quite a bit bigger than elephants, so I believe you're using the full 84". Elephants are fairly big and immovable, so you have a method to overcome a pushing match.

You're on to something! I'm guessing they will extend to 84" and stay in their key the whole match shooting 3 pointers the whole match!

You don't have the full picture yet... so you can have half a cookie.
