This robot is really cool!
What’s the reasoning for the pneumatic actuation of the intake?

The intake is pneumatically actuated because we wanted to use the 111 intake, but it wouldn’t fit in our frame perimeter for starting configuration. To fix this, we gave it a “jaw” with those pistons, which opens up to what the original design of the intake was. Adding this jaw also increased game piece security, not that it was much of a concern with the original design.
