Will make sure, thanks. I'll probably add another sensor to get the distance so we could rely on something to power up our shooter to a desired speed. We'll also have optional manual control.
We mounted our in-progress bridge lowerer today. By that, I mean the way it is in the video is how it will be when it is deployed except obviously there will be a bumper. Right now there is rope acting as our locking mechanism. There was a mishap balancing on the bridge :x ...it wasn't centered so we had to drive further to balance it and yea, rammed into a wall (no damage done though, we're used to it
we usually don't get on the bridge there, but we were in a rush
)

The object of the team is not to design, build and compete a robot, it is to design, build and compete students. If after four years we have opened a student's eyes to the infinite possibilities they have in their life, it is worth all the effort. - adunakin [more]
