Well, we decide to pass on manipulation of the 2X balls. (as well as the 10 point balls)
Out main attention is to hanging, and a strong/fast drivetrain.
The idea is to build a solid base deisign for future years. Yes, this is perhaps NOT the srt of game that requires powerful, but THIS was the year for us to do that work.
I hope to see some of you at the Manchester NH BAE Regionals!
