Sometimes good engineering requires following the crowd.
Though we have a few ideas that might set it apart from the others of course

As for the intake, we're not going with wheels, or the "el toro", but rather an older Dr. Joe inspired intake which is also going to have a Ninja Munkees twist
Our team is the opposite, I guess. Our puncher works better than the catapults we've tried.
