I most certianly agree with you on that. Which is why we can tilt the hood down and spew them in at point blank.

We wanted to do a dumper this year. The downside to dumpers is that they can be slow. And slow is not good in a game where the goals move If you can't fill a trailer fast, they'll get away.

What kind of prep? We just dumped them in the hopper (which is something we could do in a match) and shot them out...

We can also pick them up from the ground.

We'll have to wait and see how long it takes to collect 10 balls in a lunacy match. Our team is betting it will take quite a bit of time. I'm highly doubtful many teams will collect 20+ balls on average.

Re: 10 Balls. 1 Second. Team 100.

I think your design is absolutely brilliant.

My only question is: Can you chose to only shoot some of the balls you have loaded?

It might seem like a dumb question, but there may or may not be a situation where you might not want to shoot all ten balls you have loaded.

Re: 10 Balls. 1 Second. Team 100.

With that many balls and so quickly, I dont see why that would be necessary to just shoot some.

Yes. Answered in a previous post.

I wish.

Our students couldn't afford the travel this year. Our team has never had the funds to cover travel expenses.

Re: 10 Balls. 1 Second. Team 100.

Finding money for travel is always hard. We traveled to Portland in 2007 and never went back. I really miss the food, the people, and the killer arena. Well hopefully we see our friends in Portland @ nationals.

Re: 10 Balls. 1 Second. Team 100.

Portland's my favorite regional. It may not be as competitive as some others, but it's by far the most fun that I've been to.

Hope to see you guys at Champs, if we earn our way there!

Congrats to Martin and the rest of Team 100, you guys have put out another incredible robot. Can't wait to see it in action at SVR and SAC.

PS. I hope your giving Steven some time to code that beast

How does this bad boy load up? is it equally quick or does it need some time to load and prep before pwning somebody

While I see what your saying here, I am just as scared of a robot that can shoot 10 immediately, or one that goes 1, 2 shoot 10.

While you may be able to dodge them a few times, all it takes is one mistake by you to allow them the split second it takes to align and unleash all the balls. The fact that they can unload balls that quickly makes them a scary team, plain and simple.

This doesnt just apply to team 100 (although this is a great bot), it applies to any team who has the ability to fill a trailer that quickly.

Just my opinion. I'm sure there will be strategies against robots like this one, but I am just giving credit where it is due to a team who completed a very nice robot with a week or so remaining, and was willing to share their design pre-ship. Kudos to 100.
