We were able to take 3/4 of a second off of the beginning of the shot series dropping it to 1/4 second before firing the catapult after the arm starts to move. We wanted to lower the delay between the shoot button being pressed and the ball leaving the robot as much as possible. In total we shaved almost 2 seconds off of the entire shoot series from what we originally had before the tuning. Well worth it and I highly suggest it to any teams that have a long shot series to trim it down as much as possible.
