We've been able to repeat this a few times.

We can also do the same thing. We shoot through the same opening we feed, after all. Those Frisbees actually retain most of their momentum when they are shot through their slot; we nearly took out a few of our trophies that were a few meters back from our feeder station on our practice field when we tried it out.

Here's a video of two net shots made by a prototype shooter during the 2013 build season.

At 1:54 in this video of the MSC semi-finals, 1918 put a shot right through our arms as we were climbing and into the three point goal. I remember seeing it as it happened and thinking that it was pretty impressive. The video from Detroit Public Television makes it look even better.

Pine Tree Regional Quarterfinals. Our operator prematurely fired a disc while our base driver made a last second adjustment on the line up. This caused our shot to bounce off the angled vertical bar of the pyramid and into the 3pt goal anyway.

Re: Best shots

My favorite (series) of shots would be 2169 in the second Galileo finals match-- filling up the three point goal to the point where they have to start shooting in the two point goal.

Re: Best shots

I'm not sure there's a video of it, but at Beantown Blitz, 195 fired a frisbee from the feeder stations that landed directly into the hopper of 175. Not technically a shot, but probably one of the most improbable circumstances that I saw happen.

I was there too, it was a pretty cool thing to see. And there is indeed a video of it happening.

During match 73 at IRI a missed shot from 3539 landed perfectly in our hopper. Our GoPro on the back of our shooter captured the moment.

The part with team 2468 starts around 1:30.

Holy crap, they shot a water bottle off someones head! Ours probably would decapitate someone::ouch:: :yikes:

Haha, we were quite proud that not once during the practices did we hit him. :yikes:

And we were probably more surprised that he came to us with the idea for the shot, not the other way around. (needless to say all of his staff members advised him against it)

But a huge thanks to Ray for being such a great sport about the whole thing and a pleasure to work with.
