4 motor 2-speed pneumatic shifting drive, 2 motor flywheel w/ pneumatic angle changing hood, 1 motor intake, combination motor/pneumatic cap flipper/arm.
Wait can we use current pneumatic limits?

Interesting idea to use balls but not score them directly! Also the flags remind me of the Stop & Go stations from the Thomas the Tank Engine Wooden Railway sets. (Maybe someone named Thomas, or better yet, Thomas Edward Henry, will win Worlds this year like 5225A with the traffic cone hats did in ITZ.)

Edit: Thomas Edward Henry, Edward Henry Gordon, Henry Gordon James, maybe Gordon James Percival, Percy Toby Duck (or Montague), and of course Donald Douglas, or twins named Donald and Douglas Oliver.

I’m so excited for my first year of vex!! I can’t wait to start building with pretty much no thinking ahead.

… shooting mechanism? nah, I’m just going to build several different claws for caps that range from sorta unreliable to very unreliable

hey we got third place in our first competition, mostly because we are super consistent on driving up the platform!! Maybe we figured something out here! We totally didn’t get carried!

…we really aren’t doing any where near as well in any other competition, maybe we didn’t think this through

Looks like I won’t be able to get the new motors until next year
