great video guys, good luck!

[flattop11438]

you guys have very sucky prototypes my team aproched this in a very different way....

[TheSpartanburger]

@flattop11438 Well aren't you nice.

What was this video taken... Day 1 of build? Yeah, it totally is supposed to work perfectly after 4 hours of work from scratch when we have to spread our work load across 4 different projects. And on that note, we were totally supposed to have the same methods as every other team out there.

Yes, I'm being incredibly sarcastic. Use what's between your ears, not whats between your asscheeks.

Whay are you guys moving closer for the shooter?! That does not show progress, it just shows that you want to feel good that you acually can make it!!!! You sholud change the prototype's power/angle!!

[TheSpartanburger]

@nonameleft4m3 You did watch the whole thing, right?

When we asked them to come closer it was literally the first time we were trying out the shooter design. We were powering it with a power drill instead of a real motor, a power drill that had a near-empty battery in it.

@DjModifications

They're so evil, we pronounce them incorrectly so as to not curse ourselves when discussing them.

[Veren10000]

just to let you know our our shooter can go up to 30 feet

[TheSpartanburger]

@Veren10000 Y

Launching a ball for distance is easy. Getting it to hit something at that distance is what will make or break robots this year.

[TheSpartanburger]

@TheSpartanburger Ignore that Y at the start. I have no idea how that got there.

is this at o'fallon

[TheSpartanburger]

@arrow4610 What's a "o'fallon"?

[ParkRobotics]

I like the progress that your team is making. Looks like a good shooter to. Just a thought a little edditing goes a vary long way. Just simply taking out the blank looking at nothing will improve the videos greatly. Glad to see another great prototype!

[TheSpartanburger]

@ParkRobotics I was originally going to do editing like that but because it is around midterms I really lacked the time for it

[Scorpia260]

Make sure everyone sees this at the next meeting. There were a lot of people who were not there.

[TheSpartanburger]

@Scorpia260 I'll make sure that those who were not there during the first day of prototyping will stay behind after we break out of the main room to watch the video.

"watch your everything" lol
