Re: Team 25 2008 Unveiling

A lot of the questions are pretty similar, so I'm going to group together the answers.

Regarding obtaining the ball:
Yes, we pick up the ball by pushing it up against an obstacle. The practice segment at the beginning of the video was just sloppy driving . Our drivers have had some practice since then.

Hurdling:
The tipping seen in the video was a result of the driver making a hard stop. Our speed controls have been modified, and the entire launch process is activated by a single button press by our driver. This allows for one fluid motion, as Tottanka mentioned.

Placing the ball:
This is accomplished by regulating the mast speed on our "magic - more magic" dial.
