Drivetrain:
-6 Wheel Standard Drive (2 Centered Tractions, 4 Omnis on the Corners)
-4 CIMs on CIMple Boxes (May change to 6 CIMS :D )
-Slightly Drop Center
-Painted Colonial Red, first drive train of ours ever to be painted red
Intake:
-"Over the bumper" type intake, developed and popularized by Team JVN in BuildBlitz
-2 Banebots wheels grip the surface of the ball
-Rolls ball all the way into the shooter mechanism's cradle
Shooter:
-Cradle receives ball from the intake mechanism
-Cradle lifts the ball into a higher position
-Motorized kicker hits the ball, launching it over the truss or into the high goal
-Cradle has a linkage connected to the intake, eliminating need for another motorized and programmed system
