Go to Post IMO the main idea behind FIRST is for the mentors and students to work together to produce a machine that the students could never have produced on their own. - Tim Sharp [more]

Agreed...our students built in 4 degrees of freedom - swerve to aim in the open field and a ±15° turret for both fine adjust and shooting with bumpers against the hopper, boiler or driver station wall. We also have an actuated shooter hood to change the release angle and closed loop flywheel speed control.
