Yeah. We will be packing a few sheets of lexan into our crate when we ship. We will both shield our robot, replace our acrylic sheet chutes, and put in some frisbee deflectors.

As for the hang, we still have The jag left, along with the PG 71. I guess we'll see what we can whip up. The kit of parts is meager when FIRST Choice is less of an option. We managed to get a few parts ferried to us through some coworkers of parents, but not much. The KOP only came with 2 victors, one jag, and 2 spikes. We didn't have enough motor controllers so our window motors are driven by spikes. It has been a trying season.
