Still brainstorming....

Hi Everybody~

Well, we have been working on making a chute that the ball travels up and then gets thrown out with enough force to make a basket. We have had a couple of different prototypes, but this one seems like it is going to work the best:

As you can see, the rubber-coated wheels help to propel the basketball up and out of the chute.

Here, Mason and Mr. Tracy Bartels take a moment to think about their next plan of action (actually, Mason is wondering what time lunch is):

And, of course, our CAD team is hard at work drawing up the latest dimensions and modifications to our robot:

We just want to say "thanks" again to everybody! We were able to raise enough money for both Mason and Cassidy to attend both competitions in Duluth and Milwaukee. We are so excited and cannot wait to go!!!!

Stay tuned....we still have more pictures to show you!!!
