I agree with Gregor that we're not necessarily better than 1310, at least in terms of the robots.
First of all, we could never full court and intake at the same time because we couldn't fit both mechanisms on at once. Also, like Gregor said, our intake was very inaccurate because we didn't have a proper practice bot to test it on when we made it.

Also, 1310 had an intake, a good FCS, and was able to cycle at a speed comparable to ours.

They also had the same shooter design as the one we had for our first two regionals. We then made a slightly more powerful one for the championship. I don't know how much faster the new one is, but if we could shoot 7 cycles at our first regional I'm sure they have the capability to as well. Our retractable hard stops may make a small difference in cycling time, though, but I don't think we ever measured how they affect cycling time.
