I think a lot, though I don't know how many will be intentional. A low hang, high shooter, human loading robot is a solid strategy that many teams I'm sure are considering on their own though the specifics of how will vary. I know I'd rather see 5 or 10 clones of this design than robots that can't score because their indexer jams and the lifter isn't strong enough.

Awesome job guys, this is an impressive bot even if it took a normal build season.
