In terms of the robot, Fat Swan 2.0 would have the following changes:
- Same overall shooter design (single axles, dual wheel, 2 position pnuematic hood)
- Slightly shorter chassis, small robot, still "long" configuration ~30"x24"
- Full bumper coverage, mounted as low as possible
- Single speed drive, geared 8-10fps, 8wd, Colsons, brakes
- Shorter overall height
- Over bumper pneumatic collector/bridge manipulator with pneumatic "Stingers" (like a 228/971 combo)
- CG balanced heavily opposite the collector
* Shoot opposite from intake (one of our biggest mistakes)
