We decided early on that we would have trouble picking up a ball and launching one with the KOP provided fans, especially when we fried one of them.

Just awesome, good luck in 2012

We have a high rate of accuracy by lining up with the fender, but have just an easy time shooting from anywhere else forward of the key. Do you have an image/video of your bot online for viewing?
Good luck to you too!
