About 3 day old picture, new robot has all the electronics and most pneumatics on it. Our robot looks a lot better this year!

Re: pic: 3413 base
Looks like your team is coming along swimmingly! Couple of questions: Is that netting simply a method to get balls fed from a distance? Secondly, how many CIMS are you using in your drivetrain? Looks like you've got one attached to a CIMple box driving your elevator like device. (by the way, the very long chain there is going to need some sort of covering.) Finally, what method is used to feed the balls from your elevator/hopper device to the actual shooter itself?

Just remember something that our team unfortunately is always dealing with: Chains stretch!
Its weird, but they do get longer after use for a while, so it would be wise to maybe mount that CIM on rails or sliders so you can keep it tensioned

Why the net, and why are you using a cim for the collection system?
Where are the electronics mounting?

Interesting "waterfall?" design. Hope it works out well for you.
