Re: Team 3528 Robot

I really believe it depends on if the dumper is quick and accurate. If a shooter and a dumper take the same number of shots and the shooter's going for top hoop and the dumper's going for middle... the shooter just has to make 2/3 shots or better to outscore the dumper (assuming the dumper is 100% accurate).

Lets say a really good shooter is close to 100% accurate as well, well then the dumper has to outpace the shooter and get 3 baskets per the shooter's 2 to stay even with them.

It's a pretty interesting situation to me. Esspecially if alliances use ball management strategies or passing/feeding. Two robots feeding balls to an accurate 3 pt shooter or 3 robots gathering and taking as many shots or dumping as much as each can...
