Re: Over the bump or under the tower
Now that 816 has done a bit more thought on the subject, we're going forward with the intent of crossing the bump in every match. Not because we'd like to, but we feel like we're going to need to.

Because of this, we're designing our machine to be able to cross the bumps with minimal problems, and 50% of driver training this year is going to focus on conquering the bump. Our Drivers are going to need to be able to cross the bump with a minimum of a 98% success rate to make the cut this year - I'm not kidding. (98% is derived from 1 failure in 50 crossings, with 50 crossings being derived from 5-6 crossings per match in 8-10 matches)
