2. we also have an autonomous set up where we sit there shoot while having our intake conveyor running to be able to intake balls from other robots.
If there is a team that would like to work with us that would be awesome! it seemed to work well at the Kettering district.

I hope we can try it. Tonight we were practicing a teamwork routine with decent success - we set up front/center, shoot our two, lower the arm/collector, and let the system continue to operate. If the bridge is lowered without the balls being blocked, they roll down the ramp, across the floor, and into our bot. Would be good with a teammate who could shoot their two, then get back and drop the bridge. We are also working on one where we set up in the back of the key, shoot our two, go to the bridge, feed them through the system and dribble/roll them out the front into another shooter. That one needs some more work yet.
