Full court shooting strategy
Hi, all. We have our first regional coming up this weekend in Chandler, AZ.

The Bit Buckets have built a low profile, fast shooting, floor pickup bot that we have added an angled feed to the top of so that we can do full court shooting. (We withheld the shooter and put it on a wooden mule for post-build time-wasting.) We seem to be able to score ~90% in the 2 point goal and ~50% in the 3 point goal at 50 feet.

I assume that full court shooting is most likely to be useful to win qualification matches, since in those matches when there's no wallbots, we should be able to shoot all 51 frisbees in about 1:30.

Have any of you folks actually done full court shooting? What was your experience, in terms of actual success vs planned success, and when was it useful as an extra scoring strategy?
