While it is very similar to 340's bot in 2004 in function and it was Jason who was able to confirm it worked. The idea came from a general brain storming with the team and the implementation inspiration came from the drive team 73 used in
2003 and
2004.

The outer wheels are omnis, so the effective wheel base is 10 inches. The bot turns within it's own footprint with little resistance.

Yes our kicker is what hit, the mechanism that holds it and pulls it back was not on the robot at the time of the video
