Thanks, Bryan!

It *should* work every time, except it is highly dependent on how it is lined up, something the drive team seems to have a hard time with. Through Troy and a few matches at MSC, I was able to perfect it so the first three always bounce in the middle zone and roll into the goal, and the fourth and fifth land just in front of the ramp and roll into the goal. Works really well. If it misses, it is always slightly to the right side. It never hits the refs, something our drivers can't say. It runs at 1.2 feet per second except when going over the bump, since it can't go faster than 3 feet in 2 seconds (2 second out-of-box rule).
