In the center we have smaller wheels that are used in assistance in getting up the ramp. Our goal is to be an effective one-point herder and a decent three-point shooter. The bottom of the robot has an opening for a spinning cylinder driven by a CIM motor. The ramp up into the robot has fingers that open and close to allow for the CIM motor to get up to speed before we shoot the balls back out. The bottom portion of the robot is mostly empty space for ball holding. Our three-point shooter is human-loaded only. The shooter is also driven by a CIM motor, and has a servo controlled gate that opens up after the motor has gotten up to speed. We shoot one at a time, but I am unsure of the distances. That's all I can think of right now.

ahha! i knew i would see omni wheels on that beast!
