Seems like your cRIO and DSC are a bit exposed... Planning to have any Lexan shielding for them?

Also, I see your hopper, but I don't see how it shoots.

Watch the video on the blog.

The concept behind this design is pretty cool. Dropping your shooter to the floor and reversing it for loading is definitely a nifty idea.

Also, your lift looks pretty wobbly at mid positions, so I'm assuming you're planning on running it to the stops at the top to stabilize it for shooting.

Still, that's going to be a pretty awesome robot if everything works like you're planning.

We think it might be possible, but it's not high on our priority list. We have a lot of other things to work on first.

I would suggest adding a system so that you will also be able to feed from the feeder station.
Looks nice. Good luck this season.
