Caught your video last night on Top25. Very impressive shooter.

Very nice shooter and the accuracy is superb. If I may ask other than the "6'' Colson wheel shooter powered by 4 miniCIMs" is there anything else helping the shooter to generate the force?

Our collector rolls the ball into the shooter at a low speed, and that is the only other force moving the ball. All the shooting force is from the four shooter wheels. The concept was taken from our 2013 robot (http://youtu.be/8Ls_uvX_NXE?t=30s), a two stage direct driven shooter.

Hands down one of the coolest designs I've seen so far. I can't wait to see it take to the field.

Impressive.

Love the backspin on the ball.

Great-looking robot! I love how simple your shot procedure is... it's fun watching shot after shot go in!
