pic: Shooter damaged a Boulder

[Ginger Power]

Some new testing with our wheeled shooter for the GreenHorns showed some great results. We started playing basketball with one of our boulders around 3 AM (used the tower for our hoop... hopefully robots will be more accurate than me...)while waiting for the programmers and it got pretty beat up. When they were finally finished we set our robot up in an orientation that it was making 100% of its shots with that beat up ball. Next we introduced an untouched ball to the shooter and it was still successful.

The tests tell me that wheeled shooters aren't terribly affected by wear on the boulder. For reference we were shooting from about 7-10 feet away from the tower.
