I know I'd want a feeder bot on my alliance, especially one that does the bridge well.

I'm just curious; Are you wide or long (robot)?
It was designed to be a feeder, but I am highly skeptical of its ability to kick the balls effectively enough. It is a long bot. I have been very against this design, but I guess I see a silver lining. The main issue is that we will end up running over the balls, so we would have to back up to kick it. I rather not waste my time lining that up and trying to kick. It has no ability to "dribble" balls, or even hold onto it.
