For this year's FIRST Robotics Competition, Ultimate Ascent, we knew that we had to be quick if we wanted to both shoot Frisbees and climb the tower. Thus, by week two, we had started on our shooter prototype and by the end of the forth week, we had completed assembling our shooter.
We were rather surprised now only by how powerful the shoot was, but also by how successfully the hopper preformed. The piston and the Frisbees worked flawlessly together, which will hopefully will help our robot shoot more consistently. Overall, things seem to be going well.
