There's a lot going on in that thing, especially in the bottom. WOW. It's kind of amazing to look at and try to figure it all out.

I see those little balls inside. Are those intake rollers run by squirrel power?

The rollers are run by a Banebots 550. These were not plugged in in the photos.

You have no idea....

Under the catapult is the PD board and 6 victors. Under the PD board is the air tanks, solenoids and tubing. Up the back are more victors, the cRIO and pneumatics components.

It's very dense, to say the least. But the students that wired it up did an amazing job keeping it so neat and compact so that nothing gets torn out by our shooter.

I really like how they have polly-cord running the intake rollers. That is a clever solution to get rid of having to create a chain or pulley system, it kills two birds with one stone. It saves weight and it reduces space.

OOPS! Looks like we forgot to tie down the 5 volt convertor. Add that to the list.

[SteveGarward]

Don't worry Al, we got that guy with velcro.
