There's a small wheel on the back (vertical) section, right about in the middle. If that isn't a "kick" device and/or shooting wheel, I'm not sure what it is... particularly with those Colsons sitting right behind the front frame looking suspiciously like a shooter.

Yup, it actually works with just the intake too. With some geometry tweaking it'd work pretty darn well with out the rear wheel, but currently there is too much compression in the intake portion so the rear wheel is a cheap band aid.

This whole robot was an exercise in prototyping primarily, the fact that we get to compete with two of them at one of the most competitive offseason events is just a bonus.

I've been wondering for a while...

What is up with 973's intake wheels?
Are those lego mindstorm wheels??

This is definitely the best FRC parody of an FRC parody I have seen.

I'm really proud of the 973 crew for making this robot work so well. The robot was made in about two shop days total, and I feel is within the skill set of most FRC teams.

More details will follow later.

How do you make your hubs?

So does this offseason event revive the game from 1 year ago? Seeing as the event is holding the 2014 game in a 2015 offseason event. Or did the event coordinator decide they didn't like recycle rush so they went back to Aerial Assist?

Yes. They surveyed teams in the area and found enough were willing to play 2014.

Yep, they decided to plate Aerial Assist instead of the current game after checking with teams to make sure they would get enough entries.

That'll make an excellent finisher for sure

Have a quick look at your shot angles and speeds. If your shot accuracy is reasonable, there is one combination that will let you shoot from against the low goal (as shown), or from ~30" out from the low goal (one robot width). That last shot can be *really* useful against in a pushing match against defense!

^This.

This actually makes me miss Aerial Assist.
