Yep -- we had some trouble making coop balances happen on Saturday morning and they didn't, so they jumped in front of us.

In addition to the changes we made to reduce reload time, we've ditched our camera-based ranging and have dialed in preset key shots and given our driver a camera-based aiming reticle. He's had good success in practice; hopefully that will give us a bit more versatility and flexibility on the field, though I'd like to note that, even at the fender, we're really hard to move.

We did the exact same thing with our camera between portland and seattle. Every shot we made in seattle was manually aligned and used preset distances. This worked out VERY well for us, and we made improvements for worlds to make it even more accurate and useful.
