Not necessarily. The shooter can be your carrying space. Many teams fed discs in 2013 through their shooter (if I remember correctly 868 was one of those).

Yeah but you can't have it stored in contact with the shooter wheels so it has time to speed up before you shoot. I'm in no way saying it's impossible, just that it may be difficult to figure out.

We are taking advantage of the extra 20" in each direction. The front is used to lower a pic up much like JVN and all those 3 day robots, the back will hold a box that opens 20" back so we can hold the ball there and use that space for catching the ball from other robots. The Shooter is much like those from 2012 with two wheels at the top and two at the bottom.

Our shooter was underneath the hopper, so while it might looked like we were feeding into our shooter, we weren't

Re: TechHOUNDS Wheeled-Shooter Prototype 2014

so i also discussed this design my team and they argued that there was no space. but after the match starts you can have 20" extra on each side so me and my design team made a prototype witch was to peaces of a circle like this () put together on rails and that expanded after the match starts like this ( ).
the only problem is we don't have gears and the ball can't shoot far enough so the rest of the team thinks this design is horrible but hey what can you do lol. i can also send out photos of the prototype if you want when i have the time.
