This is exactly it. Going from a separate intake prototype, separate feeder prototype, and separate shooter prototype to a whole, functioning system will be a bit of a reality check for many teams. We've encountered this challenge in the past and since then have tried to be diligent about combining our prototypes to get an idea of how the whole system will function.
