I WISH we could go over that bump as beautifully as some of the other teams. We had a bit of a problem with it at West Michigan and one or two teams noticed and tried to use it against us, but we've got it fixed now (our ball grabber was a bit too far forward).

At West Michigan, we kicked the 3 in the back zone and averaged 2.1 points per match in auton. I'd love to get all 3, but it is very difficult. We bounce in the middle region intentionally to get the balls to settle down - hitting the backboard or the ramp up to the goal is a quick way to miss every time.

For the longest time we'd bounce our second shot off the second bump every single time. We fixed that in the last two matches at West Michigan. At this point, going into states, I'm wagering that almost every bot there will at least be able to get 1 in the close zone, and should be able to advance the middle balls, so we aren't changing anything.
