Here is a description of configuration #2, shorty:

1. Grabs two goals and auto-balances
2. Goes under center barrier with ease (metal treads that do not damage the carpet).
3. (Power and speed)
4. Bridge raise & lower mechanism
5. A landing deck for giving robots free "KART" ride into the end zone.

You'd think that after 3 (or so) years of posting on this site, I'd figure it out by now.

Anyhow, I just wanted to publicize our robot. In order to change between these two configurations, we will only need 1 or 2 minutes.

Our forte will be traction, speed, and balancing... no matter if we have an arm or not. If there is another dependable balancer within our alliance, we can turn into a ball scorer.

Here is another picture of "shorty", this time in the start position:
