Iron out the bugs and you guys look extremely competitive.
It doesn't hold the 30 balls they wanted it to hold, but it's all about tradeoffs at some point. They did CAD the robot, and that helped alot.

Which reminds me ... Of interesting note was 93 (FRC 1086's FTC team). I was extremely impressed with the creativity and sheer engineering genius in the simplicity and consistency of their design. To give you a hint: they almost beat us with a spectacular autonomous and shooter operated by 2 servos. That's right ... 2 servos. I have a small video of them, but I'll wait to see if they post something first. 339 also had a unique, consistent autonomous and outer goal shooter.
