After watching the video about 5 times, I noticed the poster in the background, and the writing on the white-board, and I realized that the video was posted by an Israeli team. And then I realized that during the entire video, the only word I understood was ākickoffā. (The sound quality wasnāt very good, so I couldnāt even tell that a different language was being spoken. 
)
Pretty good I can see how the shooter works. Which regionel are you guys going to?
ah yes! the good old āwack the vise grips with a pipeā trigger release mechanism!
pretty standard trigger design - was used on many military cannons throughout the years :^)
(are those digital vice-grips?)
I like the toilet paper 
Iām not part of their team but I dont think thoose are digital if Iām thinking rightā¦
Iām thinking that would be tough to reload on the fieldā¦ Possibly if you had something that could reapply vicegrips. If you had that though, I donāt think you should be building FIRST robots, but something bigger.
do they TP peoples houses in Israel?
you could rent out your robot for special events, like prom night, birthdays, and homecoming :^)
[TP: covering someoneās house and trees with toilet paper]
Yea I think it would be a bit hard to reload that thing on the field unless they can like harvest and than drop the ammo onto the shooter and have something to release the shooter when theyāre ready to fire.
Cool. But Why Toliet Paper? 
shrugs perhaps the man holding the toilet paper was holding it so measure how far it shot. And than he accidentally let go because of the noise?
Nah guys, it was just for fun
This is our first cannon model, it is pretty badā¦
We killed it and made a new one, just finished testing it 50 minutes agoā¦
Great cannon it shoots very far, and its not the old boring wheel system that was showen in the FIRST demo video.
A video will be uploaded soon to our website: http://www.neat-team.com
is your team, 1943, going to the championship this year, or any regionals in the US?
Chuck Norrisā beard can cure cancer. Unfortunately, he never cuts it.
Actually i Belive its his tears that cure cancerā¦ But he never criesā¦
First we go to the Israeli regional and then if we win first or second place we will fly to atlanta.
you guys are the robogroup team right?
If you guys need any help or ideas PM meā¦robogroup is our parent company
we (intelitekUSA) are psyched that you guys have a team this year!
it would be absolutely awesome to have both teams together in atlanta
Good luck and keep up the good work!
You can relax, This was just a beta ācannonā to check the spring abilities.
Our real ācannonā is already up & running, and reloading takes less then a second
