      We thought about it once. But after working with CEMOR for 6 months, its very unlikely, because we are not allowed to use weapons on the robot, and the robot uses a different control system than what is allowed. however, at competition, there was a lot of pushing and shoving between the robots.

      We use a C-based language called Robot C. We program the computer controlled period (autonomous), and the controls for the driving period (teleop). Communications between our computer and the robot is done through Blue-tooth.

      We use 6 AA batteries to power the NXT brick, and a chargeable 12 volt battery to power DC motors and servos. When we went to competition, we used 24 AA batteries, and we had to continuously charge the battery pack.

      CEMOR moves by using a 2-wheel drive system, it takes in wiffle balls on the floor by using a sweeper like mechanism. That sweeper will bring the balls up to a shelf, where it is loaded into the shooter. The entire thing is powered by a battery pack, and controlled by a NXT brick, and 3 DC Controllers.

      Never. We will always find something that we can improve, or something we have to fix. If we're not doing that, then we practice driving the robot. In a briefer statement: We never, not, have something to do.
