Should have know 33 would go for 3 (in auto).
Stellar Robot and Design as always. How is your CG? Twice during the video I saw the robot tilt
0:46 and 0:47. I dont think this is a big deal while shooting, your driver just needs to decelerate a little slower. Additional if you tilt and your height is 60in you're incurring G23, with a regular foul. I'm curious to know what you're exact height is but if you don't want to reveal it I understand.
I like this design much more than others because it has
blocking potential. Some of the catapults this year have very low release points (and to a lesser extent arm with linear puncher designs and Ri3D Boom Done cradle catapults) can be blocked relatively easily by putting a robot in front of them. By taking advantage of the height limit, and I think 33 is at or around 60in, they can probably block most teams regardless of shooting mechanism. One thing that is yet to be seen is how the CG question comes into play while blocking. I don't know for sure if 33 or most teams can take a hit from a ball and not fall let alone tilt massively.
Also this is the best catcher I've seen so far and its not even close. You don't have to move the drive base that much compared other low to the ground catchers like 20, 1772 and 604 which have stuck out to me as some the other good catchers. Again taking advantage of those full 60in seems very beneficial at least from my perspective if CG isn't a problem.
