Slingshot Shooter

We built a mockup of the slingshot-like shooter we designed, after realizing the catapult design was impossible. We built it fast, and tried it out. The results were promising:

Wanting to try yet another alternative, our mentor suggested trying a arm that "boots" the ball. We built it and tested it. It was a complete failure, and would not work at all. So, we decided that we would finalize and use the slingshot shooter. We created a "grocery list" of things we would need, so that our mentor could get the materials over the weekend.

In addition, our pick-up system is almost complete. All that is left is to attach the motor, chemical weld the wheels to the churro, and attach it to the chassis.
