Still a lot of tweaking to do. Building a poop shooter right now and making CAD models. It's far too late to be working, but it's also too late for us to realize that we should stop.
[EDIT: the poop flinger is done. WHOOOOO!]
[EDIT #2: Ridiculous amount of stuff done today to get to this point. Moved locomotion and sorting to the same board & onto the bot (lots of molex connectors, lots of soldering), changed out the front U-brace with a roller to help with friction, added guards in front of the drive wheels to prevent balls from catching. Oh, and my favorite, adding the stomach & poop shooter, both made out of cardboard...]
Also we forgot to clarify that VEX didn't ship our omniwheels until three days after we ordered them, which means our real drive train wheels & bearing aren't arriving until this Thursday... even though we ordered them last-last Monday. !#$%! So we're stuck using things like salvaged U-braces and rollers and rollerblade wheels w/ wooden pieces hot-glued inside for our drive train. VEX screwed us over, but our improvised drive train still works (barely)!
