Re: Orbit 1690 REAL robot reveal! - "SKYZER"

Really surprised this robot hasn't gotten more attention, as it combines the key features of low bar traversal, wide floor collecting range, and high shooter release point in a very logical design. Props to the group of people who came up with your strategic and robot design priorities; this is a high quality shooting robot.

Some of my initial questions:

What motivated your decision to shoot from the protection offered from the outerworks? Does it have anything to do with your cycle speed/consistency? Do you plan on being capable of shooting from the batter as well?

How does your shooter perform with balls of different compliances? It clearly shoots well with at least one particular ball, but at competition you play with the balls on the field.

Good luck on the field; you have a great shot at doing well.
