Simple shooter verses Arm--seeking advice

This is going at the simplest of the simple, and though I wouldn't suggest doing it, it's always an option.

Have 2 wheels angled at a 45 degree angle pointing upwards in the front of your robot, with a little room less than the diameter of the ball behind the wheels. You can now use the wheels to suck in balls, and shoot them up into the lowest basket.

Like I said, I wouldn't suggest doing it, but if you're out of ideas by week 3, then it may be something to look into.

The issue with all of these robots that require sitting in front of the baskets is the ease of traditional defense being played on them. When you move to spit something up there, you can get pushed out of the way. If you need to be in a certain position (not the key) to shoot, then someone else can simply park themselves there.
