Hope to see the design finds prosperity at competition.
Thanks for all the awesome comments!

Good point about brake mode - I am going to bring that up today;

The robot actually throws much higher than the first shot in the youtube video. The reason we had to switch to throwing on the ground was because the tubes were hitting the ceiling which is over 10 feet high.

The robot is designed to not have to leave the lane, so in theory it would be difficult to defend against.

We are looking forward to the regionals this year!
