They're Canadian - they'll probably gladly take US dollars! Failing that, I'm sure they'd also appreciate Tim Hortons gift cards, or Canadian Tire Money.

I have concerns for Auto. If each boiler can average 5bps, If red and blue both shoot the same amount of balls in auto at the same time (everything equal except the boilers) if red boiler processes 4bps and blue (by lucky ball bounces in the boiler innards) hits 6, these boilers could be the ones determining the winners since balls still processing after auto ends are only worth 1/3 as much. Unlike can grabbing where everyone could see, boiler insides and counting is hidden from spectators. That could be frustrating seeing both teams put up the same amount of shots and seeing a 30 point difference

You'd best score those balls early then. Think of it as rewarding speed as well as accuracy.

It's a fair point though. A 1 bps difference between boilers over the course of a 150 second match means 150 balls could fail to be accounted for.

STEMRobotics is US based (hello from Delaware).

It's a single robot. 3 robots at 4 per second is something my VEX teams can do. Be better.

It's a US check in USD, your bank can do the exchange. I'll mail it to you.

Would love to pay you in TIM$, there is not Tim Hortan's here. Which is a good thing because then I'd weigh 283kg. (Yes, did the conversion, that's how much I love Tims)

Single robots. Shoot 96 in 8 seconds close to the top and you win. 1 at a time, 96 at a time, what ever works for you.

(Side note: Since you said multi-shooters my brain is going "24 at a time? really?" So the deal is 96 in 8 seconds for the $100. Do it in far less time, your check *may* be bigger, my discretion )

Foster Nack predicts that I'll write one check. But Foster Nack predicts that STEMRobotics will be happy to write 3675 checks.
