(Yes, that would also be the first public mention of our 2006 robot's name.)

dang... we have already got our launch systems going.
bam! 12 feet per second. this launcher is pretty awesome. and EXTREMELY accurate (spray range average of about 5 inches)
unbounded we got the launcher to shoot at a maximum of 25 feet per second. so this thing is dangerously powerfull (we even went and fired it at the principal of the school, and OF COARSE he volunteered)

it really stinks that we havent been able to get our closed loop to work, the sensors seem to like to return null values
and the camera? *shiver*

we have gotten pretty far along as far as planning goes, and we have a separate team of brainiacs (non-programmer/building but smart types) who are contemplating the posible strategies. im hoping for a good competion seaon this year!

(i hope i stayed on topic.... im not really good at that as my english papers would say)

EDIT: hey spiffizzle... keep going on that design. it looks really nice so far.
