We were pretty happy with most aspects of the design. The shooter was heavily inspired by 610, looking at what we would do to improve on the concept. (wider intake, more reliable shooting) Also took some inspiration from 2481's intake/ball centering (magical if you haven't seen it) and kind of merged the ideas together.
During our events the final product wasn't as polished as we would have liked. Encoder issues and eventually some stress issues on a couple plates around bearings were causing issues. As a whole the shooter and centering of the ball itself was very solid and we are pretty happy about our first shooting robot completed as a team.

This was the primary use yes. It was rounded in a circle around the center of the ball when properly in the shooter, so that no matter where the extension contacted the tower, the ball in the shooter would be the correct distance away from the tower.
It also was made for dominating secret passage defense. (both shooter/pickup and extension out) made the robot really long, made it super easy to keep balls and robots in/out of the secret passageway.
