I also want to second this line of thinking. Every video seemed to focus so much on shooting with maybe a little highlight of the intake. Being a good playmaker, passer, set up guy, etc. seemed to be completely overlooked and maybe taken for granted by most teams.

We designed ours to be a reliable scorer when needed obviously (hot goal auton being the major focus), but the ability to feed others (and in multiple robot friendly ways) was a huge priority. Little dump passes, lofting truss passes, long distance outlet passes, and quick reverse intake roll passes are all in our toolbox we can dive into for racking up assists.

Hopefully, we'll get the chance to toss that large ball around together this week.
