Thanks, IKE. I like the overall look of the cannon mated to our 2010 drive base. I think it has a military hardware-type vibe to it.

The Breakaway drivetrain was not one of our finer decision-making moments in team history, but the public finds it interesting as part of this new robot. The 2010 bot is definitely better-suited to this new role.

Much better than our team's. We were given a prebuilt t-shirt cannon, so we did a quick and simple attachment to our 2011 robot. If we had the skill we would try some sort of repeater like yours of 254. However, ours can fire above the stands at our football field at maximum, so we have power.

We are doing a very similar thing as well. We are taking our 2011 chassis with the A-frame to mount a t-shirt cannon. Should be interesting.

I'll take a picture of ours and post it. No matter how you make it, it can't look worse than ours.

Good Luck!

Next order of business...add a train air horn.

We use a SCUBA tank as a compressed air source. Please see www.team254.com/shockwave for more info - our pneumatic system is patterned after theirs.

A+ song choice.

LOVE the cannon, that thing is amazing.
