That’s awesome! Just curious, but isn’t there an 8 motor limit? I understand that the intake and roller most likely share motors, but how does the catapult get powered?

When the intake spins forwards, the ratchets disengage the catapult system, and a keeping ratchet holds the arm down. When the intake spins in reverse, it engages the two ratchets to fire the catapult and pull it down in less than two seconds.

what is the wall locker?

Keeps the back section of our wall down because our wall folds in two places to be vertical when it’s down and when it’s up.
