Great looking bot! Let's hope it's as good as last years!

Doesn't look like you guys should have too many problems, the camera looks secure enough. This robot looks fantastic, your gonna love yourselves for going with an 8 wheel drive, it won't give you any problems with the corner goals or the ramp. Your speed though on the low end is probably in a good spot right now.

What do you guys do about preventing the balls from bridgeing?

Great Robot 229, let's see if it beats the results of my favorite 05 robot (yours).

First off Conor, thank you very much for the nice things you've said about our team and robot. Denominator certainly set a high bar to attempt to beat, but we'll do our best of course.

Secondly Zoheb, Like every team in first we found our shooter certainly consistent enough for our means on our practice field in an abandoned mall, however I will reserve answer to your question untill after this weekend when we see how consistent it is when two teams are trying to shove us in a corner. She’s got some tricks up her sleeve so we'll see how it goes.

Also Conor in the box there is an agitator mechanism that feed the balls to the lift/shooter combo, its two blades powered directly off a window motor. Works decently well, of course the more balls in there the longer it takes to agitate a ball to the correct position. But we've been pleased with the result
