Re: Shooting full-court: The uprising of the human-loader shooters
Being able to block those shots will be a viable strategy in my opinion. It will be very tough, especially if the shooting teams are clever, but a robot that can extend up will be important. The question isn't necessarily CAN you shoot full court but HOW WELL can you do it. I see some teams supposedly being able to do it but not hitting more than 50%. If there is a team that can hit 80% or higher, they will be extremely deadly.
It will come down to the other things that those alliances can do, namely auto and climbing. Floor acquisition could be a game changer, especially in auto. A 30 point climber with a dumper could also be a huge deal. I don't think we have seen enough in week 0 to really tell how the game will go. I know, at least in the Finger Lakes area, that there are still a lot of teams looking extremely mediocre and probably several that are not showing their hands yet.
Also, how many teams have you actually seen in person shooting reliably full court?
