Some specs:

Drive Train: 2-speed shift on the fly coaxial swerve drive, about 14 fps in top gear? Correct me if I'm wrong on that, Aren.

Pickup Mechanism: Twin angled rollers that can suck in the trackball from various angles, up to about 40 degrees off to either side. If we have a straight-ish shot at the trackball we don't have to slow down at all.

Hurdling mechanism: Reliable shooter that consistently places the ball over the overpass, whether we have forward momentum or are at a standstill. We have various safety precautiouns in place to ensure the safety of those around our shooter.

We also have a poker mechanism that uses our forward (or backward!) momentum to knock the trackball off the overpass in both the Hybrid and Teleoperated periods

Hybrid: Our hybrid mode has the prospect to score 20 points within approximately 10 seconds.

In a simulated match, we were able to hurdle six times during teleoperated period.
