This year we went with an approach similar to that of Team Copioli's BuildBlitz robot. It features an over the bumper intake system and a catapult/kicker type shooting mechanism.

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
