Looks a heck of a lot better than our robot so far! Good Job!

[Coach Norm]

Looks good. Congrats on the build so far.

Lots of bungee there in different locations, is this to adjust shot?

Very nice. What are those vertical orange sticks? Where did you find it? Because I've been looking for something flexible (PVC tubing being too rigid) and could not find anything.

Thanks

Actually thats just spare tubing, as we were testing how much force it would require to shoot. Right now we're hitting the high goal from 17ft and 6ft.

Those orange sticks are from ACE Hardware. They're bicycle flag poles, they're very light, rigid yet flexible, and cheap. I think they're fiberglass.

Thankyou! we're making great progress this year, and it looks like our rbot will end up 20-25lbs under weight.

Have you guys actually powered up your wheels? because from what I see I think they may be backwards. The rollers should all be pointing into the center of the chassis. Right now you should be able to spin the robot in circles without spinning the wheels.

Actually we have not powered it up, but I'll be sure to mention that tomorrow. They're supposed to be in an X orientation correct?
