If I'm not running around like a chicken with my head cut off and you've got an extra drill at UCF, grab me. I'm sure that there are plenty of people that would love to help you work on getting the weight out've that structure to get it back to it's initial design. You guys have put together great work in the past, and like you said, it's just another lesson. I know that 108 went through it last year and they ended up getting their design functioning again. Either way, even without the shooter that's an excellent and very robust design.

In the end, I definitly understand how it feels even if you can't put the shooter on. That's what happened with us in week 4, except that we scrapped the shooter mostly due to not having any sort of machining capabilities. Our design came out and has the same things going for it as yours now, and the more I've thought about it since then, you really have a world of oppurtunities even without the shooter. That would just be a cherry on top. Great job guys, keep your heads up, because you're guaranteed to kick butt either way.
