Re: How does your robot load????
We have a mechanism that picks balls up from the ground (like a lawn mower) and takes them to the top of the robot, where they are entered into the shooting canal. I guess this would count as a "conveyor belt" type loader?

Re: How does your robot load????
well we have designs and a prototype for sucking them off the ground and bottom-feeding them into a big hopper. However, as of this moment our robot doesn't even hold balls, much less pick them up. (We can shoot though, we got rapid fire working today!)

Re: How does your robot load????
our bot picks up balls from the back, we used a sim motor to spin wheels, when the ball hits these wheels it get compressed and shot up into a hopper that still need to be built and then into the shooter which is already mounted, not sure what the loader qualifys as

How is "both" for an answer choice?

Our robot has the ability to collect balls from bottom and top.
