What made you decide to orient the shooter sideways relative to the drivetrain?

The sideways oriented shooter was inherent in this design. This design came as it's own concept as a whole robot instead of the typical sub-systems due to the nature of this concept.

Also we were thinking of going straight on, but if you think of basketball, the defender moves side to side and the shooter moves side to side to avoid defense. We believed this potential could be a heavy defensive game, we decided to go side to side. Instead of having to back up, and realign, we would just get square with the goal, and if defense does show up we can move side to side to avoid the defense without having to realign with goal. Shooting whenever we have the chance.
