- Another interesting decision regarding intake and shooter alignment belongs to 862. Will their side-facing shooter simplify basket targeting or just provide inconvenience? It could certainly aid in scoring along the fender. Regardless, they'll have an uphill battle to climb against teams like the Bees, Martians, and Wings of Fire. A spot in the quarters is well within their grasp, but they'll need favorable match-ups to advance further.

These two predictions were incredible accurate at Kettering. I am on team 862 and the side shooter worked beautifully. Also with the first prediction about the auto scoring being important, this was very true. Im pretty sure that if it wasnt for team 3322 , 3601, and 862 's autos all working together we would have never made it to the finals. We were able to get at least 4 shots in every time and on the last match we got all 6 in which was worth 33 points (the last shot didnt register till after auto) which gave us a huge lead when starting off tele.
