In regards to CAN, I believe we tested it on a test board that the programmers were using, but not on the actual robot yet. Can you elaborate on what we should waatch out for with the CAN?
Pneumatic Wheels: they compress with a lot of weight on them, so a center drop of .25 reportedly had too much scrub with the first version (6 pneumatics), hence the omnis. We hope that the short wheel base will help with turning only 4 pneumatics. As for reasons why we used them: traction, shock absorption for hitting the barrier, maybe more reasons.
Unfortunately, our supershifters still have the standard gearing so with 8in wheels, we go a bit fast. We are hoping to reduce this either with the optional gearing or a sprocet reduction to the wheels.

The collector is basically a tower with belts that will feed the shooter.
