Interesting design analyses.
I thought 254's '08 bot was a much better bot to emulate for this year's game than 1114's '08 bot. Simple lift, softer launches and a similar roller intake/outake - much more controllable than a punch. I suppose c.g. would be an issue, but with the ball in the 'up' position c.g. is an issue with 1114's design too.
Turns out either would work for specific robots, but 1114's probably better for the high goal. Yet I was more biased towards being the best ball handler than the best high goal shooter.
Tom, here you go:
