It seems our teams have ended up with a similar train of thought. At the end of week 2 we had a complete mock-up of one of two designs we felt were feasible. This uses a wide frame orientation with our puncher (mocked using a wooden ramp stopper from 2012 and a frisbee from 2013) with a 'wheels on top' intake/passing system.

It appears at 2:40 in

We've also refined the puncher design with support plates, which are further in the video.
