What is your drive train?
What kind of shooter is that?
Do you have a hanger? If so where does it hang at?
Thanks, amd Good Luck!

Thanks for the compliments everyone. We tried to stay within the bounds of what our team could produce, and the result was a clean and efficient machine that met the requirements we set early in build season.
The drive train is a slightly modified KOP chassis running with toughbox minis. The rear wheels are 2009 KOP slick wheels.
We have a linear shooter powered by 2 bag motors. The first shooter wheel runs slower to get the disc up to speed before launch. We can score from half court to up against the opposing player station and everywhere in between. The intake loads from the HP on top of the shooter to a servo powered indexer. It takes 6 seconds to empty the clip.
We use the blue 2 7/8" Banebot wheels to shoot. The high speed shooter wheel can fire about 100 discs before it needs to be replaced. We made a 'lifetime buy' of the wheels to have enough for our entire season (both official and unofficial events).
The robot has a passive 10 point hanger located about halfway up the frame on the front. The driver simply drives into the lower rung and the robot lifts up about half an inch.
Stop by our pit at either GSR or Pine Tree and check it out!
