Re: 1425 FCS Pyramid Run Teaser

Excellent work!

Before everyone goes questioning this strategy, I suggest you go watch some videos of their amazing performance at the Central Washington Regional, and it might give you a better idea of why they're showing off this capability.

1425 is one of the only full court shooters that can get displaced from the feeder station and STILL make shots. Their drivers are very good with the holonomic drivetrain. They were able to successfully shoot around 84" tall blockers in competition by maneuvering out of the protected zone.

Can they be hit by a defender? Sure. But then the defender has to leave their post blocking the feeder station area, or the opposition has to double up defense. 1425's drivers have no fear of getting displaced from the feeder station because of their ability to shoot from practically anywhere else on the field. All full court shooters are designed to shoot from the protected zone, but 1425 is also extremely adept at full court shots from elsewhere in the back field.
