I have no idea what is going on with the top of your robot and it looks very interesting.

Some specs off the top of my head:

-Kitbot 6WD (and when I say "kitbot", I mean "kitbot"--we felt it met our needs bone-stock this year)
-Polycord elevator, with some PVC rollers on what I've started calling the Plinko board to corral the balls into the center line. (Our intake is theoretically two balls wide; we figured ball acquisition from the floor was a priority.)
-Bidirectional shooter designed to align against the field in certain positions for directional aim. (Not telling which positions, but you'll figure them out soon enough.) the shooter is a F-P through an AM Planetary and CIMple Box (then sped up again through chain and sprocket--it was just simpler to adjust that way) driving wedgetopped FIRST wheels. At Peachtree, we plan to switch that tread out for black SBR roughtop.
-Window motor bridge pusher in the rear (hidden behind the Plinko board) hooked to wheels. Voted Most Likely To Be Re-Engineered for lack of proper testing.

We're not 100% ready at this point thanks to some late-build cRIO issues (we may be ordering a fresh one considering this is the same chassis that conked out on us last year at Peachtree), but around here a saying has developed from that other USC team that's won two titles back-to-back: Win anyway. We've had amazing seasons from worse robots than Incocknito, and we expect to overcome whatever comes into our path.
