    We built this bot for the FIRST Competition - This will explain a lot (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZnGfbGzEFrM)

     We plan on harvesting balls and using the belts to tranport the balls up to the pistion, after that I hope to pin other bots and launch then in to there trailer.  Let me know what you think of our desgin.

More Pictures here and there.

We went with Ackermann steering to have better control of the bot, we usually use tank drive.

 Here is the Robot Controller

Here the game piece that we will be competing with
