I suspect you will see much much higher accuracy in this game. The game pieces aren't highly variable, and from 15 feet away there is one magic rule for these frisbees: the faster you fire it and the harder you spin it, the more accurate it will be, and the less drop (or more rise) you'll get.

Go back and look at 2006, where you were shooting into a vertically oriented goal instead of trying to bank things in off the backboard. That should be a more accurate representation of accuracy, and top robots that year were absolutely deadly (85-90%).

Prototyping shooters is absolutely key (if you plan on being a shooting bot).
