I've just watched the videos on the BRC website. Hilarious! I definitely need to practice docking manually, I usually use a docking computer because...well, I'm lazy. Some of the dockings in the video are insane! Should be quite amusing
I hear rumours that Sarah Jane "mistress of minions" Avory has souped up the docking computer to cope with agressively landing a fully engineered 800m/s unshielded ship so it can still touch down feather light without a scratch. If this is true then we may have to seriously consider outlawing the use of docking computers (it's certainly something I'll think about for future races). So yeah - get practicing!
Incidentally, if you're doing some background reading on us and watching old Buckyball videos then I can also recommend ..
