We have a two position angle adjustment on the top of the turret. During quals, we prefer to shoot anywhere on the field (no defense generally). We can shoot from the batter if we need too, so far it hasn't been a big need for it, other than if you don't do it, teams assume you can't.....It's way more fun to be unpredictable on the field, as we shoot any window, anywhere on the field. We showed the batter shot off the second day of qualifications just prove we can do it.
Actually, I am surprised...The Rhino tracks on this machine, we bought 2 hours after the game was announced on kick off day. Then 3 weeks later we ordered a second set for our practice robot. The practice robot pulleys are pretty much trashed and have been replaced. This very early Rhino track on the production robot, has not shown the same failures as the practice robot, but we have already received a complementary set of pulleys from Andymark, which we have not used. I actually need to order more, because I have already given those pulleys away to teams that needed them in North Carolina...
