Re: Team ?'s Prototype Shooter

Nice!

We're not sure how ours will behave with different balls at the competition, although it seems to be working pretty well with the different condition balls we've been using in the shop (we saved some new ones until just a couple days ago). I notice one big difference though...we are not attempting to "swish" the ball, we are instead aiming for a straight shot into the backboard, with enough backspin to make it drop into the basket. As long as we get the height right, the length of the shot is not very important.
