It was a conscious decision. The benefits include pinching action to hold ball securely and the ability to shoot between between the intake arms without exposing them outside the bumper. I'm sure a detailed closeup of the intake arms will be coming soon, hopefully with the different design revisions. They are designed to be hit or sideswiped and pop back into shape as well as acquire the ball quickly.

Yes, good job being calm and asking about the validity of a rumor before fanning the flames and assuming the conspiracy must be true. - Greg McKaskle [more]
