This would require moving the left wall to the left a little bit; it looks like the distance between the right wall and the wheels is good.

As far as local teams, usfirst.org has a search tool for finding teams in your area. Here are all the teams within 25 miles of Alameda: http://tinyurl.com/c9f5cw2
Thank you! We have a pneumatic push rod to shove the discs, but I will be sure to share your comments with the team. The push rod has not been fully tested yet so your suggestion may be a good solution if we run in to trouble with it tomorrow at pit day. I will also make sure some of the team members reach out to the list of teams that you provided after we are done with the SVC Regional.
