Day1 was a nightmare of problem solving and we made no practice matches. We barely passed inspection at the end of the day, and our variable winder kicker was getting a mandatory weight reducing makeover.
At that point we still had nothing working but our short wheelbase (18') tank drive

You really think it would be easier to build a looper than a simple kicker? Sounds like it was a good thing you guys didn't try to build a looper, given all the problems you had with the kicking bot.

Glad it all worked out for you in the end!
