Both Bomb Squad and ATA were compact compared to the NUtrons. I'm unsure of their dimensions but they were similar to ours which were 26"X34"X50".
Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but I feel that their feeding strategy didn't come from design but rather by strategy. Where as 4334 designed their robot to be primarily a complimentary bot instead of a main scorer, I see it as once 125 realized how good they were at feeding they stuck with it and honed that ability.
Even though, our teams played together twice this year I never realized, just how good they are at feeding until qualification rounds at IRI.
I wish someone had video of match 46 when 125's alliance pulled off the upset victory against 1114 and 67. That match definitely goes in my list of favorite matches this year.

Oh! lol So they were the team that was throwing the balls we were feeding to 1114 and 67 back across the field. We would throw 3 balls across and then we would see 3 balls get spit back across. The only balls really scored that match were from balls that were gotten almost immediately after getting thrown back in because we(1592) and 125(now that I know who that team was) would almost immediately pick up balls just sitting there.
