Honestly, watching that autonomous mode work so perfectly was amazing. I felt like I did last year the one, and only one, time that our minibot worked.
Here's a more technical description of the contraption:
3322's robot was unique in that the shooter was on the opposite side as the collector. The alliance was arranged with 3322's shooter facing the goal, 3601 touching at the back with collectors aligned, and 862 to the side of 3601.
For the first 3 seconds, 3322's shooter wheel accelerated up to speed.
3322 then began to feed balls into its shooter, which shot at the top hoop.
a second or so later, 3601 began to feed balls into 3322 by running its collector backwards, where they were then scored.
A few seconds after that, 862 used our side-facing shooter to shoot balls at low speed into 3601's open top, where they were then fed into 3322 to be scored.

I had thought of this during the beginning of week 6 and took a sample pic of such a setup.
Glad to see it work to fruition at a week 1 event and many more to come for sure.
Reminds me of 2009 when the HP fed 217s robot during auto mode.
