How does your robot hurdle?

**By the way, I think we were in the pit next to each other in NJ07 last year.**

I think you're thinking of 375 ^_^.

As for the arm/catapult decision...you'll have to wait and see .

Our team is using a pneumatic-operated catapult. However, to get the lever arm long enough we had to make our robot extend to twice it's starting size at the beginning of the match. The catapult arm will start raised at an angle, then drop down once the match starts.

Now I remember, the two-eyed camera robot of your 2007 robot.

We're using a catapult and a seperate knocker device mounted on the top of the catapult frame (so far) that will knock the ball off during hybrid mode. But other than really really accurate shooting we won't be able to place the ball back without help, hopefully we'll be able to hurdle fast enough to make up for it though.

Our robot is using a spring/piston method to fire the ball over. It will sit 3 inches beind the ball on our composite arm and be raised by the window motor.
