Re: 2013 Peachtree Regional

Okay, we'll play along. Pictured here (I hope) is our 2013 entry, Hugo III. You may recognize the graphics on the side as a satellite view of a certain storm in 1989.

Hugo III features:

6 Wheel Nanotube chassis, 4 CIMs driving 4 of the 4" Hi-Grip wheels
Adjustable angle shooter (0 to 44 degrees) via Acme screws
Single Wheel, 45 degree arc shooter, powered by 2 Mini-CIMs
Full court range
18 point autonomous
Telescoping upper frame provides 2 shooter heights.
10 point hang using shooter deck.

We struggled week 1 at Palmetto with a shooter that was just a little bit off the mark, and unfortunately very consistent. On the plus side, we were able to reinforce the lessons on the difference between accuracy and precision .
We have worked out a new autonomous routine and feel like we have the shooter accuracy issues handled, so here's hoping for a good showing at Peachtree.

Look forward to seeing everyone there.
