I'll try to catch webcasts from Lone Star Regional, otherwise see you in Atlanta. Good luck and good "hunting".

No, the range is fine... but, since it's an octagon shape, sometimes we lose contact with the spider legs. Then, the robot shifts right to find the next contact point. Unfortunately, autonomous is only 15 seconds and the robot cannot lock on and score in time. We're trying to fix that.
