Are you using pneumatics to push the ball into the shooter? And how do you plan to load the robot?

Yeah, there's a pneumatic piston in the back. The loading is done by just putting the wheels in reverse at a low speed and lowering the shooter to the ball.

If you're going to lower the shooter to the ball, will you raise up to one pre-defined height to shoot, or do you want to try for variable angles so as to shoot from a wider range of distances?

Right now it is working best at around 45 degrees, but we haven't done any extensive testing of angles yet.
