A bigger ball and a smaller target pushed that decision, along with the profile of our robot. Very early on, the climb was prioritized as a key component, and the space it takes up leaves no room for a shooter in the center. As our shooter would be in the front of our robot, very low to the ground, any defensive robot would have a field day. This also gave low goal scoring priority because for three less points per ball, getting eight balls into the tower gives a much higher reward at the end with the ranking point or 25(?) point bonus.
We might have figured out a way to get around the defense robot problem though
