Re: Firing System
If you haven't found a way to shoot this late in the season, I would recommend foregoing a launcher of any kind, and focusing on building a robot that can play another role in the game.
Most teams will agree that the drivetrain should always be the #1 priority. Beyond that, being a good alliance partner is what counts for winning matches and getting picked for elims.
You don't necessarily need to be the one to shoot the ball. With the 11 days left before you need to bag the robot, you could build a good catcher/assister with a solid drivetrain that scores in the 1pt goal, and hopefully even get in some driver practice. That would pay off much more than trying and failing to build a shooter bot.
