Boiler interaction videos or comments?

Hi,

I feel like we are missing vital information to properly choose our strategy: how much fuel can the boiler hold?

There is already a thread about this here, but besides speculation there is very little info and the Field CAD file does not include the boiler innards.

Would appreciate feedback from teams who had a field at their kickoff venue! video, photos, or anecdotal comments welcome!

  1. How many balls fit if you place them gently, one by one, while the motor in the boiler is off?
  2. How many balls fit if you dump a tote of balls into the chute? This is really an answer that doesn't have to be accurate but a rough estimate would do well!
  3. (Both questions relevant to the top and lower boiler openings)


Teams who had a field at kickoff have a sizeable advantage in determining their strategy.

The fact the the Boiler videos (First and second do not have the finished boiler (different back, different inner gear) makes it that much more difficult.
