Well this team 1872's baby, we come from Puerto Rico and we are looking forward to test our robot, El Jibarito, out on the UCF arena on Florida this next week. This is our rookie year so we aimed to "keep it simple" meaning we made our robot a compact "pick-upper" shooting for the bottom goal.

Thats a nice looking bot. I love the chain guards.
That collector and feeder system is so simple you all most don't see it at first glance. 
Two pulleys and one belt; we have 28 pulleys & 15 belts driving 13 rollers 
Good Luck in Competition!

Re: pic: Team 1872
we only have problems of the balls coming out of the goal when the goal has too many balls inside

Do you have any problems with ball escaping sideways in the harvester? Also, are you guys sure your flag holder (I'm assuming it's the little tube behind the collector) is high enough? You need to have the top of a 3-foot tube at least 1 foot above your robot, but less than 6 feet, and held by a 1-foot tube. By my calculations (using the ball in the picture and guesstimating), you need it about a foot higher. Other than that, nice and simple.

I like your use of gravity
very interesting choice about control panel though, it's the first time I haven't seen victors, controllor, etc nowhere near the base.

looks great! can you go up the ramp? do you have an autonomous?

Re: pic: Team 1872
yeah we can go up the ramp, the back part of the robot is pushed by a piston; so it goes up and we can go up the ramp easily
the piston is not showed on this picture, we added it afterwards
