There will be a cut out in the front of the ramp. Another roller will go between the white intake roller and the first black dump roller. The intake roller and this new roller will be wrapped together with polybelt. Behind these rollers we'll have a vertical wall of material that will cause the balls to roll up and then out and down onto the ramp - we're calling this the "Waterfall".

The cut-out piece of ramp will be re-attached with a hinge to act as a "trap-door" that folds out of the way when the elevator is in the floor position, and folds back down when the elevator lifts the ramp to score in the low goal (between the two black rollers) or dump into other robots (above the top black roller).

Thanks Derek - please follow the Facebook and Twitter for all media! I'll have my DSLR in the shop near the end, we still have a lot of work to do. Your sheet is looking sick so far!

Some background on this team: very intelligent and enthusiastic kids and mentors, very little school support. This robot is built with COTS parts and only manual hand and power tools. 3D printing helped a ton filling in the gaps!

We also only meet three days a week, of which we lost 3 to snow days, so things have e been tough.

I'll make sure the kids update social media often. Thanks for the support!

I truly apologize for giving my advice. Next time I'll make sure to build an identical robot and do some testing before giving anyone a tip.
