Re: pic: Team 617 Robot
From what i can tell it looks like the frame is much thinner in the back then in the front, but bumpers in the front will be a must (if you place bumpers on the vertex of the front corners[you need to] that should remove most problems)
But if your not long enough you would have a problem seeing as your front is angled in bumpers there would not count to your 2/3 rules, and if they were made straight out from the angled section they wouldn't be supported... so in that respect i agree, you may have some trouble with bumper rules |

Re: pic: Team 617 Robot
IMHO you will see more successful dumpers than shooters. In our testing, it took about 5-15, 20 at worst, to drive into a descent position and dump 12 balls (we only have 12 balls in the shop and can easily hold 20) in 1 second!!!!

Re: pic: Team 617 Robot
It looks like a wide, gravity fed dumper. I hope you've tried dumping balls this way, because they like to hang up on each other. If you don't have a lot of Orbit balls to test with, you won't be able to see the problem.

Re: pic: Team 617 Robot
I'm a 617 mom and wanted to comment on the design with some help from my son. The dumper door works like a roller shade using a window motor to lift and lower a bottom weighted tarp. A vibrating system helps to release the balls from the hopper. It's not top heavy because the sides are made from aluminum screen. They are using the side wheel conveyor because it can extend farther inside the hopper. They are going to fix the bumper issue.
