Enjoy!

Some specifications:

119.5 lbs (phew!)
Octocanum drive, pneumatic-actuated ~15 fps mecanum/~3fps-very-pushy
Fast ball intake (FP with pneumatic actuation), fast enough conveyor (550)
Shooter is two am9012's, PID-controlled with kit encoders
FP gearbox bridge manipulator
Camera-assisted aim

We can go over the barrier or the bridge, and use the high-traction, slower wheels to aid in balancing. (We can also turn sideways and drop the traction wheels to allow other robot(s) to more easily balance with us.)
