Getting ready for the next scrimmage

Our robot has been taken apart and put (mostly) back together yet again.  This past weekend, one of our mentors took home the robot and started measuring things... which led to taking a few things off... and to make a long story short, the robot came back different today than it was the last time we saw it.

Today, our first task was to figure out what to do with the conveyor belt.  Before today, the conveyor belt was slanted, but it held too many racquetballs.  Our solution for this was to mount it vertically, which would make its ball capacity smaller and give us more room to add other mechanisms (a magnet ball delivery system, for example.)  We also need to remount the arm.

We're trying to get all these things finished before the November 19th scrimmage, which we'll be hosting.  We'll be inviting around six other teams from our area, and we plan to run practice matches as well as have free building time.  Hopefully, all the teams that come will be able to have a productive build day and practice tournament.
