Re: "The Little Things" - Helpful hints for all

-Mid competition, if your strategy is not working, try something else.

We had trouble recovering shooter RPM after each shot. It took an unreasonable amount of time between 3 point shots, because the rpm had to recover to almost exactly what it was.

We tried shooting 2 pointers, and found we were far better at it because the lack of need for high precision. Our shooter could fire so fast, from the back of the pyramid all 4 disks were in the air at once before the first struck the chains. We could score 2 pointers far faster and in far greater quantity than before. Too bad we didn't try this Before Eliminations, or we may have been selected for an even better alliance.

Also it did look pretty impressive seeing a robot spewing disks
