When I first saw this -- I have to admit -- I laughed. This thing would never work. Like, for real?

But it worked. Not as effectively as some other robots, to be sure. But they scored a number of goals with it. From what I remember, they got truss shots almost every match, and scored in the high goal a handful of times. I think they even scored in autonomous once or twice.
