I think what you are hearing is the long pneumatic cylinder recocking the surgical tubing for the shooter. You can hear it better on this video. You'll notice you don't hear the sound after the shot in auto until after teleop starts. We wait to recock at the end of auto to avoid being in midcock when the field switches modes. The arm twitch is a product of the upper jaw changing directions and is unrelated to the sound you hear.

Let me know if you are hearing something else. Swing by at champs and we'll give you a tour.

Should have known that video was your handiwork Chris. Excellent job as always. We're going to miss it when you graduate.
