Re: shot from the bridge

Leeland it is difficult to do consistently without copious calibration. If shooter speed is held constant and launch angle is varied, then the margin of error is ~1.8 degrees. If launch angle is held constant and shooter speed varies, the launch exit velocity has a margin of error of an estimated 0.3 ft/s. This assumes left/right is aligned properly as well and doesn't apply to backboard shots. This also assumes that the ball(s) shot from the bridge matches 'squishiness' of the ball(s) used for calibration.

I think it's like human player baskets this year -- of the many attempts, a relative few will score points.
