I send some pics of The Bomb Squads entry to the picture gallery, DSC00042,46&50. Weight caused us to have to remove one motor so we didn't get them all! But I think we will be ok. This years version of 'Two Minute Warning' starts at 5 ft. but can rotate to under 30' before we can get to the bar (8fps) and then back up before we get to the balls. We can hold seven balls and deliver them by conveying. We can remove balls very effectively and go up the ramp to the bar and hang. Our control system turned out really nice.... four joysticks with 10 switches......I'm glad that I am just the coach.
It seems that we have a nice machine (as do all that have sent pictures) and should be in the thick of things. Perhaps the FIRST Gods will smile favorabably this year...perhaps not, but it has been a great ride so far!

Looking forward to finding out,

Greg

Hey.
I posted the pictures you sent me.

BUT

until our server gets 'convert', part of ImageMagik installed, the script wont make thumbnails.

SO--

there aren't thumbnails (yet), but the picture ARE there, just click on the broken image.
