Really. You might want to work on your time. I know that it is possible to double that.

Re: pic: Wildstang 2005

Why go so high - we asked ourselves the same question - there is minimal advantage to going so high. Yes, we are foolish only because we have a reputation of making high lifts and we had to live up to our tradition. It just would not have been right for us to go only 10 feet high even if that is all anyone would need 95% of time.

It would not surprise me to see another team go higher. But we did not want to just be "average" height.

It is fairly stable at that height - we do have a "base expansion" mechanisum and alot of weight down low and at the opposite end. We did drive around slowly while up high but quick spins are out of the question.

By the way, it is a side goal - not the center goal.

How long? Well much longer than 2 minutes. Like I said, you have to manever slowly when at that height.
