Care to explain some of the robot features?
It's basically a pivoting hopper/shooter for targeting as well as a 10 point climber. We attempted a 30 point climb design along with the shooter, but it simply didn't work out. Decided to cut our losses, re-analyze the team strategy, and go for playing the frisbee game (rather than dumping the shooter and trying again with the 30 point climber).
Since we've had little to no test of the configuration, it will be interesting going into our first Regional -- luckily the cg is balanced enough and the shooter pivot gives ability to rebalance (also, we'll try our luck lobbing into the 5 point goal after climbing).
