Keep it simple, for the purpose of what most teams want to accomplish (shooting), stuff like drag, density and other factors can be set aside if you want to just shoot. If you have a general physics background, apply that math because even with calculating exactly how much speed, height, etc. needed to make a shot, remember we live in a imperfect world. If you want to have reasonable success and want to use math and physics, use the basics of physics formulas and you'll be fine. Otherwise build and test. Remember we only have 6 weeks to get a robot ready for a competition.
