Re: 2013 Championship Newton Division

We've spent the last week re-working our hopper. We've put roughly 400 discs through it, tweaking it and figuring out what we'd be best at. It only jammed twice early on in, even with violent shake tests to simulate on-field impacts. As of Saturday, our pyramid shots are 100% consistent in under 1.5 seconds. We can now also do some full-court shooting, but we'll have to see which works best timing-wise. You know, maximize expected value per time and all.

I seriously hope we're now able to play the game the way its meant to be played, and hope to give our fellow Newtonians a good showing! Our scouting indicates that Newton may be one of the more dynamic divisions strategy-wise. Good luck to all!
