Would not recommend.
We faced issues all year with strafing into our objectives, and only once we got partway through Championships did we finally solve them and our robot functioned mostly as intended.

Otherwise the design looks like a smart way to play the game, and backfeeding with "Indiana-tabs" seems to be the smart, simple design for 2015 human loaders. Even simpler is forgoing backfeeding and using a ramp, as many other successful teams did.

Good luck!
