That's what happens to all the good bots . I'm glad to see another unique design for a shooter!

We won't have trouble with any dumpers. We have a strategy to deal with them along with our drivers that are great at escape moves. I find it hard to believe that dumpers will be an issue for us.

I'll believe it when I see it. I have a feeling you'll be eating your words if you ever come across a dumper like 45, 71, 121 or 1625.

I like the shooter design, very unique. A big plus I see with this design is it prevents broken balls from affecting the accuracy of your shooter.

IMO, and I think the Week 1 regionals have shown this to be true, rate of fire = robot effectiveness, plain and simple. This is why dumpers have tended to be on top. How fast does your system shoot, say, 10 balls? You said speed up times are not an issue short range, but long range you need a "not noticeable" amount of time to get back to the right speed. I'm just wondering what the difference in rate of fire is for you at close range as opposed to long range. Again, if you have numbers I find those much more credible than subjective claims. A video of shooting 7+ balls in a row would be nice (much like 100, 148 and 254 have done).

And any video footage of camera tracking accuracy from 40+ feet? Thats a feat I would tip my hat to if I saw it.

Sorry for the long post, I would just appreciate backed up claims as opposed to hype. On all accounts though, please prove me wrong and blow my mind with how dominant your bot ends up being. Thats really what I would like to see. In any case, congratulations on a very unique design that I'm sure will serve you well in competition, good luck!
