Re: Our answer to the long range shooter
We are a defense-oriented team, and here's the basic evolution of our blocking mechanism from the student team-lead that oversaw the project:

We used 1.0 against 2468 to advance to Finals at Hub City, and we were gearing up to having to use 4.0 against them at Alamo, but we were never scheduled against them in quals, and they wound up picking us for elims. To show their sense of humor, they told us that they had nicknamed all blocking mechanisms "Unappreciators" since their nickname is Team Appreciate...so naturally, we got a silver sharpie and wrote "The Unappreciator" on our blocking mechanism and then let them rename it "The Appreciator" with a black sharpie:

We actually mounted it for semi-match 1, but the spring wasn't strong enough to support the weight of the pool noodle covered in gaffer's tape as we drove around, so we took it down.
