We target the top row, as it moves the least. We were very successful in practice rounds (6 of 8), not so much in the "real matches". We think the floor condition may have affected our performance, but we were very close when we missed, ie tubes barely bouncing off the rack. We'll see what happens in Buckeye...

Thanks to all for the nice comments!
As an addition, I'm pretty sure our AMAZING auton coder has two-light code as well.
