We went into the season thinking that floor loading was the way to go (and I still stand by that, it's something I wouldn't want to be without), but after seeing the first video you guys posted hanging a logo with your static arm, we put a lot of thought into loading at the port. We have an interesting semi-automatic loading maneuver that we're looking into as a result.

Although, if we were playing against a high scoring no-floor-loading team like you guys there is a good chance that we might drop an ubertube in your lane during auto. fyi.
