I thought someone just dropped a contact and they were looking for it for 6 weeks

Great job on the video guys. See you on the field tomorrow

Great looking machine! That shooter is very fast, and accurate . Can't wait to watch you guys in competition.

Yes, this has to be put in the category of one of the best unveils video of all time!

The robot on the other hand - purely amazing. Although I expect nothing less than that from Wildstang. The amount of complexity in this machine is crazy, however it is pulled of so well it looks simple.

Can't wait to see it at Championships!

Ball Cam !!!!
I am both impressed, and a little worried (we start competing with you tomorrow at Midwest).
I tried to get our team to do a reveal video, and they wanted to shock and awe everyone by "coming out of nowhere".

How does it keep the balls from going past the top of the 2 storage belts/get the 3 balls in a nice line in the storage system?

If you watch, the wheels in the shooter changes. Some of the video has two wheels and some of the video has one wheel. I hope I'm not the only one who noticed...

I agree with the above. An "Unveil Video" award would be pretty sweet; it would give my team more reasons to photograph and video the build process.

Great video too, 111. I've always been inspired by your work and I think this one is mighty impressive once again. Can't wait to see it in action tomorrow on the streams. Should be an interesting Midwest Regional (16, 71, 111, 148, AND 1625 )

Good Luck!
