Mindblowing as usual. I didn't count the shots, but that is a lot of scoring in a short period of time...

Re: Team 254 Presents: Dropshot

I expected nothing less!

Can't wait to see it in action at CVR and SVR.

EDIT:: Oh yes, 254 is video trackin' if I'm not mistaken. This is a step in a direction you usually don't go. NICE!!!

Re: Team 254 Presents: Dropshot

IIRC this will be the Poofs first FRC robot with a turret. I'm excited to see their spin on it.

Assuming yes, considering the possibility of them making a swerve is pretty low to 0.

I feel like it's a turret that is constantly aiming at the goal, so they can shoot as soon as they stop moving.

Re: Team 254 Presents: Dropshot

I noticed near the end, that their turret would "lock" onto the target that was closest. Look's like they shouldn't have an issue from shooting anywhere in the courtyard.
