It appears there are a couple of bars on your shooter that stick up, but they seem to flex when the ball enters the robot in the video. Would those bars or the intake dimensions prevent you from taking a bumper to bumper pass?

We are able to actuate those bars (or "fingers" as we call them) with cylinders deep within the center of the robot to both shoot a truss shot and pass/receive out of the front of the robot with the pickup mechanism up. In the event of a catastrophic failure of the catapult (if it somehow happens), we are able to perfectly score one pointers in both the front and side of the low goal with ease.
