The drawbridge/sally port I did not see anyone attempt at Suffield, though, to be fair (did 181 do the drawbridge? I'm not sure), I wasn't exactly sitting in the stands and watching the whole time.

Shooting: Ooh, big one. High goals are hard. Really hard. I think we learned that it may be beneficial to shoot low instead of high, simply for the higher success rate (substantially), and less time wasted on aiming/defenders blocking your way. I think low goals are the way to go, especially if you're going for a capture.

Thanks to Aces High for hosting Suffield Shakedown!
It's always a pleasure to make FRC students happy, excited & hopeful of the future.
