Haha, this year was my teams rookie year, and the largest issue 2nd largest issue we ran into was spending 2+ weeks on designing the robot. We wanted to design the most efficient one we could, in the the end we got one that could pass, pickup, shot high and low goal, and shoot over the truss effortlessly, We later found out only 1 other team had the similar shooting conept we did xD, it was great !
