Re: crunch time

Our robot has a chassis and drive system, a conveyor belt to pick up balls, and a shooter. We still need a way to actually get balls from the conveyor to the shooter, and we don't know if the shooter rotator will work (or how well we'll even be able to control the speed of the shooter). The control board is completely done, electronics I think is almost done (need sensors). Programming is done with manual control (which means code is written, but still has to be tested and not work 5 times), and autonomous is nearing a testable state.

Unfortunately, when we put everything we have built and everything we thought we'd have on the robot, we're pretty much at weight with the battery. A few of us are trying to think of any way possible to cut the pneumatics out of the system; I think there's little chance we'll be able to put enough holes in the robot to set up our whole ball movement system still.
