DONE
Currently listening to: Coheed & Cambria - God Send Conspirator
So I haven't posted in over a week. I'd say that I'm sorry, but I'm not. After many, many semi-sleepless nights, the robot is done and out the door.
I don't have any real pictures of it yet (I'll post soon), but here's a screen shot of the complete model.
And yes, for all you smart-asses out there, I know that there are no shafts in the middle of the rollers. I neglected to draw them in, so save your comments. ;)
If you can't follow what's going on with the bot, we pick up 2 balls at a time, they travel through three vertical roller assemblies, and then go through the double shooters. We can hold 20-30 balls in the assembly, and on average, we can score 95% of the balls shot. We can launch and successfully score the balls from within a few feet and up to about 3/4 of the field away (approx. 30 feet). I love this robot, I can't wait to see it compete.

Very sweet... i thought it was done though, what do you mean you can't wait to see it complete? does it get finished after it gets there?
"can't wait to see it complete"? When/where did I say that? Have you been drinking...
I have not, i read "I can't wait to see it compete." as complete.
Really, not a hard mistake to make.
I knew that's what happened, I just felt like busting on you. I still owed you a punch in the mouth from last weekend, so, this was my payback.
I could have counted my Boone's Farm Challenge victory as a just reward, but, I needed more.
Oh yeah... sorry bout that.
