The real reason we chose it was because we don't have any gearboxes for wheel shooters. An interesting story we have: on Saturday we set up the field and played with Alden's team, and as we were packing up the "finger" on our catapult broke clear off. That morning we went into the scrap Lexan pile (the only team that uses more is 1714) and we made the catcher.
The air tanks on the robot are hidden on the underside as well.
The U-bolts on the robot aid in lifting. Last year, using them, we had humans replace the job of carts.
And thanks to K-Botics for the reversible bumper templates. Last year's were a pain and these change in 30 seconds.
