I look forward to seeing it! As far as I know, no other teams have posted any video or photos showing shooting Orbit Balls. Thanks!

It sure does look pretty, but what's the reasoning behind the barrel?

Re: pic: Our Canon...So Far
Yup...

actually the canon isn't too big, and the mounting system isn't permanent (prototype...)

So the wheels that actually do the shooting are mounted solid and just the barrel turrets? Sounds pretty neat.

Re: pic: Our Canon...So Far
What motors are you using for it? I'm thinking about mounting a shooter on our robot, but i'm not sure what motors to use. We already have our fisher price motors used, so if anybody could give me an idea that would be great. thanks.

Re: pic: Our Canon...So Far
That canon is rather epic looking.... It's nice to see that someone is trying this idea. I know a lot of teams wrote it off because of the geometry of the orbit balls. Btw, do you know about how fast the balls are shot out at? I know first put a speed cap on the shooters in 2006 and I wonder if they'll do something this year.
