6 4" wheels "West Coast" style

Ball Acquisition-
High-speed, small-diameter intake roller

Ball Indexing-
Polycord on PVC rollers
Automatic sorting with sensors

Shooter-
2 FP motors driving 2 sets of 6" AM wheels
Camera targeting adjusts alignment and RPM

Flipper-

Looks good guys. I like the rear intake opposite the shooter to collect and shoot the tipped balls off the coop bridge during autonomous. Looks like it will cross the bump? How did you set your bridge up? Is it tweaked to mimic the competition bridge?

[S.P.A.M.er]

Yes we cross the bump using the flipper.
Yes that bridge is tweaked to the competition bridge or very close to it, you should see the amount of weight ziptied underneath it.

Another amazing SPAM robot. I'm expecting great things for you all in 2012

Krumm is a pretty nice looking robot.

...some assembly required. We had to drop the cryo-magnets since they exceeded the $400/item limit. However the "PC" is ready for installation on Krumm.

Eric...

I thought we agreed that since the VP is such a VIP we'd the PC on the QT. 'Cause if it leaks to the VC and he goes MIA we'll all be put on KP.
