We weren't personally practicing aiming but from what I saw of every other team, it was quite a challenge to line up accurately. For one it is really hard to see with the defenses in the way and the margin of error is just very small. Even from the archived webcasts I'm watching from the other week 0 events, aiming is a challenge. This difficulty will be magnified when robots start playing defense.

It's also hard for a lot of teams to turn because of their drive train. Making a high traction drive train to get over defenses is nice, but it also makes it harder to turn efficiently making it harder to aim.
