Titan Robotics had uncharacteristic problems getting started at PNW on Friday, but by Saturday was regularly scoring 9-10 in autonomous and playing their usual smart game. I can see either 488 or 492 playing the corner-scoring role in an alliance with two good shooters (like 1280 and 114 -- the other two additions I'm proposing).
About 114 -- it looked to me like they had a ball jam their shooter in their last match in the SVR final rounds. Can anyone from 114 confirm this, or explain why they stopped shooting? Also, does 114 have to move their shooter to the side to load the next ball? Just wondering... we're done for the year.

Camera went kaput right at the start of the elinmination rounds. Wouldn't track the target - we were aiming manually.
Worked fine during qualifying though - we came out undefeated.
As for the shooter - no - but if balls don't fall in, we need to agitate it. The shooter is linked to a rotating ring inside the hopper - by turning the turret - the balls are agitated.
