Your analysis is quite good, it is primarily a turreting power dumper and can shoot a short range. We have the flapper (polycarb pieces) on the front of "the shooter" to adjust the exit angle of the balls. I think our max range for shooting is ~5ft. Ball tend to exit "the shooter" 2 at a time.

With that said, I agree with JVN that labels like "shooter" and "dumper" are misleading and it is all a wide spectrum with mix of range, speed, volume and accuracy. This robot tends toward the short range, high volume, hopefully with high speed and accuracy (cant really be determined till competition for any robot).

or maybe it is a hybrid dumper/shooter...
I hope it is an effective design, is it anything like any of your thoughts? (I always love to see robots that look like my ideas at kickoff) With any luck, it will be a flexible design that can adapt to the ever changing strategies I expect from Lunacy.
