Based on our prototypes -- this just works. The ball is captured on the inside of the collector by gravity and drops into the catapult when we raise the collector up.

Yes, the catapult is mounted 90* from our drive's forward/backward orientation. Since it's an octocanum drive, we can reorient it very quickly and should be able to score as effectively as any other team.

Solidworks with its included PhotoView 360 tool used for the rendering.
