Time will tell.
I would suspect at the regional level in 2012 the scoring percentage was significantly lower than 66%, which is why Karthik used the Championship percentage. I must say I am a big fan of these game pieces though, there are lots of examples of open loop launchers with repeated trajectories, and I imagine the closed loop ones are probably even better.
