Our condolences go to @FTC14423, @7244OutoftheBox, and any other teams who suffered property damage at the hands of Hurricane Ida. If there's anything we can do to help please send us a message. From our experience you can dry out field tiles without any issues.

Designed a constant-force flexible 3D printed shooter wall and lightweight mounting bracket using @nTopology software—now our shooter can launch rings of varying stiffness at the same distance! #additivemanufacturing #omgrobots @FTCTeams @ftc_iowa

Gameplay Pro Tip:
The return rack is designed to introduce rings randomly back onto the playing field. Teams should not expect to see the rings returned in the same area of the playing field each time and should account for this when working through gameplay strategies.
