Re: Autonomous balls getting stuck

Would increasing the dump speed change anything? or is it just plain bad luck?
You can see the stuck balls in the link below:

Also, there is neat shot in the same match at the 1:32 mark on the red alliance side of the field. A ball briefly sits on top of the backboard and then falls through the hoop.
