Go to Post Team handbooks - they are like safety glasses... they seem stupid and a pain to wear, and they make it harder to see... but they seem important about 1 msec after a flaming hunk on metal bounces off them. - Not2B [more]

So I'll offer up the STEMRobotics "Why yes we can shoot that" challenge grant. Show me that you can shoot 12 balls a second for eight seconds (96 balls in total) and STEMRobotics will send your team $100. I'd like most to go into the goal, but really to do 12 a second will be great.

1) Line your robot up
2) Load 100 balls in, human help is fine
3) Shoot 96 of them in 8 seconds to the upper boiler goal
4) Profit!



Send me links with "Why yes we can shoot that" as the title.
Bet
