Re: Tall Shooters vs Small Shooters
Another short shooter here. Our robot is under 3 feet to make sure we won't flip in the event of a bridge mishap. It made mounting electronics interesting but also cut out a good chunk of aluminum weight. We're at 119 still so we definitely took advantage of it.
Unless you're shooting at a low angle I don't see having a short shooter being a huge factor in competition. Those shooting from the key will ensure anyone close enough to block them takes penalties and those shooting from the fender will need to have no one in front of them to score anyway.
