1/ Porticulis is easy. Don't lift. Bump with a wedge. They have springs that help lift and slow down the fall. We struggled until we saw others do this. It may be an easy autonomous shot.
2/ We believe, at least for us, ball variability does have an impact which is more pronounced the longer our shot. We had much higher shooting percentages at the high goal up close, even though the angle was much harder, than mid or long range.
