Are you worried about ever having more than 3 in that hopper?

the robot looks amazing but i was wondering the same thing... how do you keep balls from gettinng into the hopper?

This robot looks like it is made from Lego Mindstorms, in the good way.

What's the purpose of the pneumatic piston on the rear of the elevator? My first guess is hood adjustment, but with the rivets running down the hood I'm not entirely sure.

It looks like the hood does adjust, It might be for a short range high arcing mode (like 968 in '06).

It's just for achieving a steeper trajectory, similar to 968 in 2006.

You California teams sure make some shiny robots! The ball harvester pivoting on the same axis as the roller is a nice touch, and I like the pivoting shooter hood. What is the material for your rollers and shafts?

Looking very nice 1538 and loving the design concepts this was the first robot I looked back to once the game was announced!

Good luck this season!

wow, i like the basket for human loading. Nice looking bot, can't wait to see it up close in San Diego.

Yet again another clean and formidable looking robot from the Holy Cows. Great job guys.

I was thinking the same thing. What if a bot on an opposing alliance shot balls into their hopper when they were already carrying 3?

Most likely, the opposing alliance will incur a foul while giving our team another ball to shoot.

Under what rule?

Generally, a rule violation by an Alliance that was directly caused by actions of the opposing Alliance will not be penalized. Rule [G28] is an exception to this rule.
