Accuracy will definitely be important as I have yet to read on CD how teams plan to consistently score in the trailer, from relatively far distances.

I think shooting at the target in '06 from 20 ft++ is much easier than the trailers this year for targets 10 ft and beyond.
My $.02.

I agree, thatz why a camera and lazy susan will come in handy this year.

very true...i think that if its not accurate then the game is shot...otherwise of course relying on the human shooters but thats not true robotics..!

our team had the idea of using a chimney pipe for a ball moving style thingy, have you had any problems with balls moving through that?

I don't think we've tried a chimmy pipe... but this is just the prototype, we're aiming for something much less heavy thats for sure. There's alot of othyer ways to make a shooter thing but this one seems to work for us. You just have to fool around with different materials. I didn't build the cannon though, I just hooked up the motor to the battery... so I can't tell many specifics.
