Here’s a robot I cadded based on my predictions for push back.
I think the game object will be balls of some kind that you need to score in baskets or buckets of different height.
It has:
A side roller intake similar to change up for picking up balls
Lifting intake to score on higher baskets
a catapult to score on even higher baskets
pneumatic drive ratchets/breaks and wedge for pushing other robots back (haha push back) for maybe a possible king of the hill style end game like turning point
Sleds for crossing some sort of platform
6 motor chassis 450 2.75 in. wheels, 2x 5.5 watt motor intake geared to 300 rpm, 1 motor catapult 20 RPM

Overall it looks good, but you will recall that in Over Under the initial thought was 2 horizontal rollers, which transitioned quickly to 1 vertical roller, so a similar fate may come upon your robot design.

I want to say I like your energy, designing a robot based on a game name.
I like the arm design and the compact 8 wheel drive base. Lots of mechanicals in a small space. Looks like a good teaching robot for other teams. Thanks for publishing the multiple views.
Good design to have in your back pocket for the 2026-27 game “Free Throw”

Interesting, kind of reminds me of 11101B’s OU MOA bot.

Lol seeing this right after the Game Reveal, really a spot on prediction. Even had sleds for sliding over the parking and all.

For a robot that didn’t know what the game is, this is mindbogglingly close

is the piston above the gears for the wheels a brake?

Btw, is there a way that I can download a copy of the cad file as I am new to V5 and am struggling with the new game
I wouldn’t recommend this CAD for the game as it would likely be really slow at scoring. Also I’m pretty sure it’s illegal due to the new plastic rules. If you want to learn how to cad in the software I use (onshape) you should watch a tutorial like this series here
