This is correct, I was at both of their events and very rarely saw them use that feature of their robot. Furthermore I feel it detracted from their scoring ability.

I would also mention that, while 973 was not the only team with a CD7 intake they were the only team to utilize it in the unique manner they did. They made excellent use of their swerve system to sweep balls up using the ability of that intake to grab any ball it touches. While they didn't invent it they did show how effective it could be.
