Picture taken at the end of week 3 with dual shooters and collector for balls. The frame is c-frame with standard toughbox drive. The Rollers are pool noodles driven by globe motors. Each shooter is driven by a CIM and a 4:1 toughbox with 8" IFI wheels.

Sweet!
Love the dual shooter concept. That's something we thought of too.
Can't wait to see it at Lone Star.

I like the way you used the toughbox supports.

Spray and Pray!...though the increase in turrets might help with the number of game pieces in the opponet's trailer...but u will run out of balls twice as fast...and if there are 6 bots continously picking up game pieces then keeping ammo might be an issue.

Also, the fixed foreward-facing turrets means that u have a blind spot 3/4 of the way around your bot. Not much to keep people from sneaking up behind you, hard as that would be.
