JP and Rob practicing driving with the new ball spinner and adjustments to the ball lift and drop mechanism. Additional length on zip ties used on the spinner increased the efficiency of the ball gathering by the robot and the new guide for distance from the tubes helped more quickly and precisely position the robot for the balls to be placed into the tubes from the lift.

JP & Rob practicing placement of the balls into the center tube (120cm goal). You can see our 3D printer working in the left foreground of the frame - it's printing switch plates for us to give away to other teams.
Rockin' Robots (FTC Team #5940) doing a print run of new FTC switch covers. Since every team needs to use the power switch, and we have improved the design, we build these to share at FTC events.
Below a a few videos of us practicing with our robot from the Cascade Effect season. The robot evolved as the season progressed from a fairly crude, but for that stage in the season competitive, design to the final more refined model. It was a very robust design.

What a great project by some terrific people - Thanks!
