An embarrassing amount of my productivity occurs while listening to my Disney soundtrack Pandora station. Am I right, @TeamJVN?

@WmLeverette Zip ties, zip ties everywhere! 2 on each side, thru tubing to eyebolts, and a couple to close the loop.

@NicStormGeorge as soon as we get some sleep and can get them organized. They'll go on http://t.co/IFuaYZ5apx. We'll post here too!

@Tim_Wang2832 We'll be posting some more detailed CAD and information in the coming days, thanks for tuning in!

@Tim_Wang2832 BAG motor through a 100:1 VersaPlanetary to an 18:84 reduction and a "choo-choo" linkage. Check out http://t.co/tjjq8qcf3O

Congratulations to @TeamJVN for winning the 2014 VEXpro Build Blitz! It was a very, very narrow decision, both teams did an amazing job.

[Team JVN @TeamJVN]

After some fun with @TeamCopioli, pulling the robot off to change the battery and let it rest for the unveil. Broadcast will start at 11:55!

[VEXpro @VEXproRobotics]

30 mins left and we have 2 bots with intake and launch! RT @libbyk: Robots playing catch here @BuildBlitz #omgrobots https://t.co/Dmre2Ojigo

Scratch that about the second limit switch; turns out we actually just bent the existing one into a better configuration. Back to the field!

[Team JVN @TeamJVN]

This team of mostly mechanical-minded brought in an expert: @Robowranglers student Cecilia helping with electrical!

[VEXpro @VEXproRobotics]

ONE. HOUR. LEFT! Crunch time. We've got cameras on the work area and the practice field at http://t.co/UU5lg7Orve! #omgrobots #BuildBlitz

[Team JVN @TeamJVN]

Dry-fire with the second switch - success! Headed back to the field.

[Team JVN @TeamJVN]

Added a 2nd limit switch, paired on a Y-cable, effectively increasing the area where the bottom-dead-center position will be detected.

[Team JVN @TeamJVN]

@coalhot Thanks for tuning in!

[Team JVN @TeamJVN]

@coalhot Should be working now - major A/V overhaul, brought the whole show to the field! Live Look-in coming up in just a sec

[Team JVN @TeamJVN]

However, the limit switch for shooting the choo-choo is still too touchy. Having that problem where it may or may not randomly fire.

[Team JVN @TeamJVN]

Initial test: ball still hitting intake wheels while launching - quick bit of surgical tubing to bring back resting position fixes that.

.@TeamJVN is moving to the practice field at the high school for the final hours! Stream will be up live soon. #omgrobots
