Love this robot! Good job 125

Quick question though... What happens when you are getting ready to shoot and another robot bumps you? Does the boulder fall out/become misaligned?

The opponent causes a penalty and 125 gets points (since they shoot touching the defenses).

Excellent concept and execution on a unique design this year guys, very impressed.

Beyond what Justin said, the shooting process has been refined since the filming of the video. The release of the intake roller into the firing process is a much faster transition.

EDIT: We also have firing positions from the outer works and batter. Those provide a more protected firing position.

Oh, cool I was just curious.

I looks like teams will have a very small window of time to do so. Based on the trajectory of that shot and lining up with the intake on the back, you can bet they'll be shooting from _just_ outside the outerworks. Which will probably be a little too close for comfort for most teams.

Cool robot concept and great design. I look forward to watching your matches!

EDIT: Wow -- I was really late on this response. Justin and Bailey beat me.

That's more like it. That will be exciting to see in Boston.
