Re: Team 254 Presents: Dropshot

I'm actually sure this is a swerve/omnidirectional drive and that there's no turret involved here. It's pretty obvious that the ball pickup is in the back, so if I had to guess I'd say that they use a pivoted roller to suck balls in from whatever intake mechanism they have (maybe the roller is combined with the intake too, I could see that) and then accelerate the ball linearly past those two flywheels.

Maybe a cheesy pof could check in here to tell me if I'm right?
