Sorry that I didn't answer these comments sooner! Thanks for all the input!

The VEX intake rollers are tapped and mounted on threaded rod to prevent bending. This robot was built in two weeks-we are now cleaning up the wiring mess! We aren't using closed loop speed control, during regionals we used meccanums (8") and we are using the same programming for these.

This robot was mainly a learning tool to see if we could do everything pneumatically except for ball control. We kick and hang with pneumatics. It hangs in about 5 seconds and doesn't need power to finish hanging because of the pneumatic system. The kicker is good for about a 20 foot arc (4' high) with good velocity and the ball control tested well!

Our team had a scheduled two week build session immediately after school ended. We had about 20 kids sign up for it and it is amazing how much you can do with no school to get in the way!!!!!
