We had to reallocate some Victor assignments in the code and swap a few wires due to the shooter motors changing sides.

The shooter is essentially the same, only with a new compression track material and reverting to a 3/4" bore feed cylinder from the 1-1/16" we were forced to use at FLR. We went the bucket route for the gravity hopper after removing our FLR lifting magazine.

The floor loader uses the same basic idea we've had for ground loading all season - we just finally figured out a decent way to legally deploy the thing.

Compared to our last shooter/hopper/conveyor/floor loader prototype combo we brought to Rochester, we believe this overall package is lighter.

Akash - if you were thinking I was talking about us having the 7-disc autonomous for Queen City in the 7-disc thread, I was actually talking about another local team. Queen City has a very nice practice field, however, so I would imagine we'll make it out there for some auton testing fun if everything else is going well.
