Driven Nuts' Catapult at the Vex World Championships 2010

The very last match that the Driven Nuts were able to play. Featuring the robot built especially for this competition, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon! Constructed in five weeks with the help of loud music and sleep deprivation, this multi-bot can up to fire 3 shots of 9 orange balls each every match. With rubberbands, the catapult stores a total of 900 lbs of tensional force accross it's c-channels. Sadly, it's potential, in this case potential energy as well, was never seen through. The robot was not picked for elimination rounds.

@BassandTheMovement: Hahaha, not sure which attracted more attention, the awesome paint job on the bot or your hair. :) We wish the robot had worked half the time...gotta apologize for people having to be with us when we failed :P. Main problem was that our bloody ball clearing device never worked. It pushed one ball away in the entire competition. If it had, we might have actually won this match...
