pic: How many balls are in Team 68's robot?

I am curious as to what 469 can hold. They have that hopper that folds out.

With the speed that balls go through their system I was amazed the managed to hold on to 3 at one time!

This is the part where I wish I could find video of 469's 2006 robot shooting in autonomous.

I believe This is a video of it. I remember seeing them in Atlanta.

...they made a robot that shoots faster than it does this year? o.0 That is frightening. Can't imagine competing against it.

9 balls. 4 in their shooter and 5 in harvester.

25-30 according to 469 team members.

That first few seconds, where they just score all those balls straight off the bat...

This robot-stuffing reminds me of competing at the MN State Fair-- since there isn't enough room for a full field, we have a variety of different game-related challenges to compete in. One of those was a force-of-impact test. I would have loved to see some of these robots try that (for the record, I believe 1816 won that-- their dual-CIM shooter broke the measuring apparatus if I remember correctly).
