We're actually losing hood capability for BAE and CT. The hood was designed to make two pointers from the fender easier in case we weren't accurate enough at three pointers from the key. However, at the field we determined we are fairly accurate at threes, and the hood position had very little effect on how easy it is to make twos. By losing the hood, we can save almost 8 lbs for weight we can put down low. We like to tip a lot. :/

We don't have enough weight for the compressor and sufficient air storage. Also, We don't have the budget to purchase the new small compressor.
