Ideas considered:

• catapult 
• piston puncher
• pitching machine (vertical and horizontal)
• backspin 

Our final design that we chose is a Chezy Poofs-esque (2014) backspin launcher.

Other considerations:

• Variable angle?
• Variable power?
• Turret?

We decided to incorporate both variable angle and power but turret is probably not going to happen. 

Intakes considered:

• Bombsquad intake
• Integrated shooter intake

We decided to use the bombsquad intake from 2012 but we eliminated the box. This intake mechanism will be shared with Breacher subteam as they hope to use it for Portcullis and Chavel de Fries.

The variable angle was integrated by deciding that the backboard of the shooter will be able to retract and deploy at will. 

• Coordination with other subteams
• Finding space in the drive train for the mechanism
• Only have one motor
• Variable angle and power
• Intake from same side it shoots from

• finish design
