Look at almost every other shooter video on this site. They are more than happy to share what they are doing. I bet your shooter was even modeled after something you saw on the internet or even from this site. So, why hide it?

Yeah, Bad form, dude; bad form.
Teams have their own reasons to withhold information, and I don't believe that its your place to call them out on that.

As a teaser, to hype the team and their capabilities, get people excited to see the robot...it is week 4 already

That being said, if I may offer some constructive criticism, the video was incredibly hard to watch with all the effects. I would have been much more impressed with just some video of the shots and a blurred out/censored shooter. As it is, I can't really tell if you made one or two really good shots, or if you're consistently hitting dozens.

Hey Nuttyman54,
Thanks for the feedback. I edited the video. I definitly will take your advice and post some videos of normal shots from iteration 2 soon to come.

Thanks, Skip

Re: 3467 Shooter Testing

If anything, I wouldn't have blurred out the shooter, but if there was a collection and feeder system, I would've blurred that out. It seems like this year the shooter isn't special, it's the collection and feeder systems that will dictate the best teams out there. That, and the climbers.

Re: 3467 Shooter Testing

Maybe the reason they are blurring out their shooter is because it isn't like anything else we've seen yet. They have the right to hide that, it is their video.
