Re: Shooters: What have you learned?
Our team was one of the very few that made a shooter with one flywheel on top of the ball causing it to have front spin. This made it super hard to score shots unless they were a perfect swoosh, because otherwise the ball would just jump right off the backboard. So definitely give yourself time to test out your ideas because they might not always work they way you think they will.
