Building stratagies for ROB

we will be tweeking ROBs gears out to add some extra speed but must still have stability and flexability while leaveing plenty of room at the front of the robot as to enable it to still be stable and secure. The hardest part of building will be ataching the projectile launcher so that it will hit the cans. To attatch the motor that will be needed for the projectile will require the front of the robot to be enlongated inorder to accomodate it while also leaving room to somehow attach on TWO sensors instead of just one and somehow still leaving it stable, while the idea of instead using a spinning claw like wepon that will whack the cans out of the way seams to be unrealistic in the amount of time that we have to do the building-ONE class which seams a littel stupid because of all the accomadations and alterations required in order to finish.

though another team did finish and I'm going to ask them to help us with the projectile
