Vex SolidWorks - Scoring High Caps and Flags

As of today, 10/12/2018, this is our current state of the robot for the challenge "Scoring High Caps and Flags."


This is the Ball Launcher we used for launching balls at the flags, its main mechanism is the linear slide and the half-gear. As soon as the gear ends, the rubber bans that we will attach to the slide will apply a force great enough to launch the ball to turn the flag.

Also there was testing in our room, so we couldn't do much anyway.
