Nice job on the robot. In 3 days you made something that will do well at many districts!
The ball flew very straight in our testing. The real problem with shooting from far away will be the size of the goal. As others have noted it's the smallest goal relative to game object in FRC history. Given how safe shooting from up against the tower seems to be, I think that's the way to go. I think it would be capable of scoring from the outer works, but I haven't tested it enough to give you a guarantee.
