With a full court shooter, a tall robot would put a damper to our strategy. If a tall robot does get in our way, we could easily move to the pyramid hot spot. It would just take more time.

Same with us. Our shooter caused my hands to sting when catching discs from over 75 feet away.

Our shooter is about 50% from the feeder station into the high goal (upwards of 75% when shooting into the middle). We are also about 75% into the top goal when shooting into the high goal from the pyramid sweet spot.
