I wanna see someone pull this off. You would have to have a gearbox using 90% of the motors in the KOP for your lifter. Then you could maybe shift that gearbox to control the drivetrain, and then shift it to control the shooter.

That'd be awesome. Every mechanism on the robot runs off the same gearbox.
Lol.
But seriously I'd love to see a robot pull that off.
