Re: Newton Division 2010

1551 is:

Mecanum drive (4 CIM), with assistive Andymark wheels for hump transversal.
Dual-wheel, side-grabbing ball controller.
Two-speed kicker, adjustable in-game.
Multiple autonomous modes (upgraded from Regional)
The most consistent hanger at FLR -- about six seconds off the top or side bar (in the corner).
Self-righter (which we didn't at any point need.)

We very strongly prefer to start in the middle zone, but can clear balls from the far into the close zone, and can score in the close or middle zones (which we could do before, but can now do even better with our New Improved Kicker(TM)).
