Yes we did disable our shooter. We removed our surgical tubing and zip-tied it down because it wasn't working reliably and it was making our life a bit of a pain. However, our intake was still working perfectly fine at the beginning of eliminations and could pick up the ball and knock it back out. That was why most of the matches we inbounded then spit the ball back out.
Thanks for the clarification. All we had was the scouting photo of your bot from Thursday and it looked a lot different in the match.

We don't have any hard feelings - it was very obvious that it was a weird bounce that caused the ball to get lodged into your bot. I have seen a few other posts on various threads where it has happened to others as well. It was an unusual situation and the intent of the original post was to inform and discuss.
