Re: Wildstang 2012: After The Game

Beautiful videos.

Your unique roller powered by the shooter wheels made me kick myself.

We struggled all year with the differences between new and old balls, because the new ones had much higher friction and would grab our shooter wheels, transferring more momentum and flying much further.

Some teams (bees) structured their tower to have more ball 'wrap'. Low-robots had more wrap by definition: 67 had nearly 180 degrees. We had..... 50 degrees.

Your bottom roller addressed that beautifully (and perhaps without even realizing it?) by giving the ball additional distance to speed up to the shooter's speed.

I learn more in FIRST that I do my day job.
