If you take a look at the front of the robot you will notice that there are two slits cut into each L-frame bracket. The reason for this being, the whole front roller and H frame assembly slide up and down this track (giving it an up and in movement). Our original design was going to be a stationary frame, like the one seen here, but when week five came around FIRST defined a shooter as any mechanism that gives the final impulse to the ball. We had not assumed a corner goal scorer a "shooter" so we didn't see a problem with going outside of the starting dimensions with our gatherer / depositor. With a quick redesign and late nights, we were able to get it finished in time for ship. The "shooter" works out very well with this design, maybe even better than our original.
