Why do you only use 2 CIMs on your drive when the ones on your shooter only go 40 feet? Our shooter is run with two 775's through CIM-U-LATOR gearboxes and we shoot full court, if not farther at full power. It seems like those CIMs may be better used elsewhere (on your drive).

Here is the Robot unveil http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...&v=N0im0XImxBg


Shooter:

Powered by 2 fisherprice 9015 motors.
Has a Max Distance of about 30 Feet.
Once we put on our 0673 motors it will shoot farther.
The Angle of the shooter can be manually adjusted before the start of the match.
Rotation of about 270 degrees
Rotation is powered by a andymark 9014 motor.
The shooter uses the camera for assisted aiming of the shooter.


Wedge:

Wedge powered by 1 window motor


Lift and intake roller:

Lift powered by a denso throttle control motor
The lift uses poly-cord to carry the ball resting on a series of PVC rollers.


Drive Train:

Kitbot on Steroids Modified by using 8 inch wheels instead.
Turns on a dime.

Was the estimated landing point. Including the bounce we can go ~60 feet.
Unless you mean your robot can shoot all the way to the end of the court without the bounce...

We had to lower our shooter power because we were shooting over the field. No bounce.
