Re: TOP HEAVY!!!!

Are you doing a one wheel or a two wheel shooter? If it's a one wheel shooter, the easiest thing you could do is remove one of the CIM motors from the shooter. The shooter's top speed would be the same, although it would take longer to spin up to its top speed.

Edit: if it is a two wheel shooter, you can probably put a sheet of something behind one wheel and convert it to a one wheel shooter.

Depending on what the robot looks like, it might be feasable to lower the entire shooter before you bag. I know we have mentioned it, since our wide configuration robot is tippy and it wouldn't be that hard to shorten our conveyor. That would sacrifice some shooting height to gain stability, which could potentially be a good trade.
