Re: 3 Balls in a second and a half
Man that shooter is nice. What is the weight of the the whole assembly with the motors? Seems like it would be on the heavier side of things...

Re: 3 Balls in a second and a half
How are you managing the wires between the turret and frame? Nice fabrication on the shooter, by the way, sounds AND looks nice and smooth

Yikes, that is heavy. Is the robot unstable to drive or balance on the bridge?

Not structurally unstable, but dynamically unstable. 15lbs is a lot of mass to have so far off the ground.

What speed(s) are you geared for in the drive train?
