Our device is a locking flipper, slot scoring machine. There are two extendable arms: one to lock the flipper and one to scoop the balls. Depending on where the starting position is our device will drive forward and push the flipper and drop the arm with the wedge(the wedge is hollow so we can score)-this will prevent the other team from scoring in the slot. Our scoring arm will scoop 2-3 balls per pass and then push them into the center hole to score.

If time permits we were thinking of adding a defensive mechanism to block 50% of the table top. This would be either a fence that will move back and forth in the depending on where the opponents device moves or wings that will drop down.

Here is a solid works model of the device:

Here are a few pictures of our physical sketch: Notice the wedge is only comprised of sides and a back so the balls can easily go into the slot

Here is our device on the table top--showing how it would be situated in the game:

The wedge blocks the slot and our scoring arm will scoop the balls toward the slot
