COTS parts -- Ri2D or similar
Our robot is a fairly good example of this -- plywood shooter, kitbot frame and belt system, and no custom gearboxes (this robot is almost nothing but COTs). One district win, 2 creativity awards, 1 innovation in control

2729 used one of these to great success with their shooter angle at MAR champs. They have several other sensors too for enhancing their shooting ability.


Also, I'll buy one, and I know that I'm not the only person on my team who will want a personal copy.
