Team 254's 2020 intake

I was admiring the 2020 254 intake and I was just wondering if anyone could explain how it works?

It looks somewhat similar to 1690’s intake. What specifically are you curious about?

the way it extends I know it’s a four bar but for some reason every time I draft it to see how it would work it doesn’t (the way I assume theirs works.) Haven’t seen theirs deploy but it definitely didn’t deploy the way mine did.

It’s using uneven links and/or pivot points with different spacing. Lots of fun to be had in modified 4-bar and related linkages.

Closing this thread since there’s a perfectly good one to discuss 254’s robot.
