The intake is a standard style floating roller intake after a lot of tuning. The part I believe you are inquiring about has been dubbed the "Chuter". At the bottom rear of the robot on both edges of the disk there is a four inch blue banebots wheel. The one on the starboard side that has the slightly longer shot due to the angle of the chute is powered by a bag motor. The port side is a single banebots 550 into a cimulator. The disks are shot into a hopper in the top of our robot to the port side of our rear-pivoted quarter-circle shooter.
