Yep. So our top two priorities are
1) A drive train that moves in auto.
2) A reversible floor pickup that picks up balls from the floor, or another robot (delivered at ~floor height) and spits them back out either into the low goal or to another robot with a floor pickup.
(Note that these are only the top two priorities. The list continues from there. )

With just these two systems, and good driving, you are a very valuable member of an alliance.

If I had the choice of picking this robot with a drive team who has practiced retrieving loose balls for two weeks, or one which had a high goal shooter but no practice time, I'd go for the first one.
