What's your robot design?

[d.courtney]

1. Yes
2. I am working on a more complex method now for the thing to be quicker, but we have had 90% accuracy from calculating the angle, moving to an ideal location (which in itself is about no more then 20 lines) and in 3 lines shooting the thing... so in a bit less the 25 lines I've made an autonomous that can shoot about 4 of the balls (but then again a few of the lines are calling functions from other files...), with 90% accuracy within the 10 sec frame.
3. again 90%

[EricH]

1) Yes.
2) Not sure; I think it's both physical and software.
3) Classified.

[Nita]

1) Is your team building a launcher for this year's game?
Yes

2) If yes, then how are you making the shooter accurate?
From what I know and understand so far, I don't know if it'll be accurate(the camera hasn't been tested yet).

3) Approximately how accurate is the launcher?
When set on one fixed spot, this video will show you.

1.) No
2.) We're a rookie team, and we thought it would be easier to build and program a
3.) Harvester/Dumper into side goals

I brought this idea up right after we saw this year's game. I proposed a twin-belt design with a belt on the top and bottom, the top belt moving slightly slower than the bottom belt, giving the ball a slight backspin and thereby more long-range accuracy. But, alas, this idea was hacked immediately due to the (percieved) high design time with few advantages gained. I really would like to talk to someone from a team that prototyped something like this, or even better, had it on their robot.
