Quick question for team JVN (I have no twitter, which seems to be the preferred contact method?). Has the thought of the "lay-up"/easily caught shot been completely abandoned? I remember you were able to adjust the trajectory of your shot on your prototype by changing how the ball was held, the lever's initial point, and the release point. Did you ever try deflecting a (close to) vertical shot? Think 67 in 2006. It's likely far too late to add one to the final Build Blitz bot at this point, but it would be wonderful to see the prototype try a shot like this.

Just spoke with JVN! Here's what he says.

No, we haven't completely abandoned it. We're going to try to dial in the sweet spot first. If we have the time, we're going to try to add that in and tune it - and if all else fails, we're going to look to fall back on that as well.

There are several of us here at BuildBlitz monitoring ChiefDelphi, so if you don't have a twitter (Like Sean), feel free to ask questions here! The social media team or the sideline reporters will try to address them quickly.
