[CRUSH-all] Preparation for Las Vegas

[Leslielintner at aol.com]

Hi All,
 
Wow Chris, those are all great ideas. I wish we could implement them all. I  
love the idea of a low shooter, but drawbacks as I see them are not being able 
 to load more than 10 balls. I would love a mechanism that can collect and 
shoot  low. Actually Buena Vista just reversed their sweeping mechanism. It was 
very  effective too! I think it was sort of on the line of the barf mode on  
Kareem. I have a question. Des a better engineered basket fall under fixit or  
upgrades? I was thinking wider so human player loading would be possible with  
the possibility of a funnel concept to make catching balls even more 
effective?  Second, I am assuming everyone still wants the high shooter so we would 
need to  keep a large supply of balls. I personally like the idea of upgrading 
the  collector, enlarging the basket and fixing the ball jamming problem for 
the  shooter. If it is collecting than 7 or 8 ball basket is not a huge problem. 
What  I saw in the final matches where autono that only shoot 1 or 2 balls  
just trying to get the minimum score required for the 10 point bonus. So a  lot 
balls is not always necessary. Loosing the dump is a great way to free up  
weight. Wes thinks a conveyor is doable and can easily be built on Thursday.  
Bill mentioned a camera for fwiper. Love that idea too...
 
I know, did not help much...
