Go to Post The object of the team is not to design, build and compete a robot, it is to design, build and compete students. If after four years we have opened a student's eyes to the infinite possibilities they have in their life, it is worth all the effort. - adunakin [more]

This was actually one of our main concerns, but we fooled around with the programming for the paddles for our shooter so that even if you held the trigger down, the paddles would be slow enough for the shooter wheel to get back up to speed. We also wrote this into our autonomous code.

The vertical wheel also allowed us to shoot from far out without going over the limit.
