Neat. Do you have any video of it in action?

We did not make a "reveal" video, but a lot of our matches are posted on youtube. You can find a lot of those from http://www.thebluealliance.com/team/2474 .

Why'd you decide to separate the intake and shooter, unlike a lot of the wheeled shooter robots?

Because having a roller intake system makes it a lot easier to pick up a ball. We did consider having the green shooter wheels be the intake wheels, but ruled it out due to the fact that we thought we would be chasing the ball around.

This robot just looks awesome, like a Transformer ready to fight. Looking at your match video your wheeled shooter has more oomph than most, can you talk about how it works and how you developed it?
