Looks like you have a robust catcher set up, and it's interesting that you made one of the catches in the video with the panels drawn in.
The killer rabbit is there! Now, can you make the robot smell of elderberries?

Thanks for the comments. We are actually really proud of our shooter. It is extremely accurate and consistent. It can't shoot from midfield or anything, but we wanted a shot that made a good truss pass as well. I think maybe some of the robots that shoot really hard all the time are going to have issues with other robots not wanting to or being able to catch their truss pass. Then you have a fast moving, bouncing ball that could be difficult to regain possession of because you have to chase it all over the field. Wasted time = wasted points.
Not sure about the elderberries, but we did build a robot that could cut down the tallest tree in the forest with...A Herring!
(Okay so I can't back that last statement up with paperwork, but we did build a coconut-shaped minibot in 2011)
