Very cool! What's the purpose of the pneumatic on the intake roller mechanism?

Thank you! And the pneumatics on the intake are to direct the balls into the loading hopper of the robot. When the robot is intaking balls, the intake is pushed out and the middle roller wall is driven in reverse to pull the balls into the first chamber of the robot, then when we go to score, the intake is pulled into let the ball roll from the first hopper to the back shooter hopper where the middle roller wall is driven forwards to pull the balls up the to shooter at the top of the back of the robot! Hope that answered your question!
