We went with the design that the Hodaka motorcycle had which was the ball shape. It hasn't given us a problem, ever, so why fix it if it isn't broken ?

As far as the cylinder vs. servo:
It has been discussed here on CD somewhere before but I still hold the KISS belief in mind. In. Out. No question. A servo can do it, but I personally don't want to risk a low back up battery costing the team a match. Plus with how much I shift out on the field, we would probably have to switch backup batteries every match. Thats just another thing to worry about when we don't have to.
