We are working on a single wheel shooter to give the ball backspin, so it will bounce downward and go in the basket when it hits the backboard. We'll aim for the backboard. We also are hoping for a relatively flat trajectory, since in our experience it's not too hard to aim side-side, but it is pretty difficult to accurately judge distance, so we're trying to minimize the effects of how far the robot is from the goal.

We haven't got there yet....this is all still theory! but it's based on watching 2006 robots play Aim High
