hmm I feel like I have seen this robot in 2006 . But really looks like another clean robot from 295. Are you guys going to try to force the ball through the pvc pipes from short distance along with shooting from further back?

Do you have any system to prevent jamming at the bottom of your funnel? Or does driving just make them bounce enough to fall in? Other than that, looks nice! How does she shoot?

i am wondering what robot you guys think it looks like, seeing as i was not really involved in 2006, and only went to davis.

The shooting paddle, turret, and hopper are very similar to EM4. Which was the world finalist in '06 and regarded as one of the best bots of that year.

yes that robot looks similar is form, but our function is very different we shoot using a paddle, and change our arc by how the paddle accelerates, it is loaded by a roller, similar to how the other bots this year are shooting. (but we are using it to load) our turret is pretty similar though. i hope our robot is as succesful as thier's

As I recall, it also went undefeated until Championships.

It also made it into the FIRST design book that year. I spent a few days during the first week looking over the design books and this one stood out. It's a shame that they stopped making them...
