I know I saw ya'lls and team 975's robot.
They were good.
Thanks. I have to agree on you about Team 975. They had one of the better loading mechanisms for the "shooter". But whether it was successful then was a story that depended on a number of things. It could obviously get balls up to the shooter. But the shooter fell short on a couple of occasions. Eventually it started making the center goal. So, that was good for them. I love teams that continually make progress throughout the scrimmage.

You also should've seen Team 614's robot. It had a pretty nice way to load the shooter too. Except, the shooter was not that accurate at first. As the scrimmage went on. They improved their shooter's accuracy. They were scoring like 10 balls at a time. They even had an autonomous mode where they used the camera to move and orient the robot so that it would shoot balls into the center goal. I was impressed. They should do really well this year.
