Thanks for the pics! I was wondering how exactly you attached the rubber bands.

Ohh :P This is nothing near our completed design... (hopefully! ) We just need to keep our gateway robots intact until we present them to our school

dat height, unffff


Would it be advantageous to use some crazy-awesome compound gear system to reach 30" quicker? It's unlikely there'll be space for 20 sacks in the high goal, so maybe you can figure out something that will be low speed until 18", then switch to a higher speed for fewer amounts of sacks.

Maybe I just missed it... But why is this called the "VT Design"?

We are the only Vermont team and we are overlooked a lot of places around here....

That makes alot of sense. I can't believe I didn't realize that myself. I guess me being on a college team in Maryland, when I read "VT" I think of Virginia Tech.
