Boulder inconsistency really really hurt our team. Our issue wasn't accuracy related and we were testing with 8 different boulders throughout the season. Basically what was wrong was our pneumatic indexer. The indexer had a 3/4" stroke which worked fine for all 8 of our boulders. We even went to the Suffield Shakedown and played half the day without having one issue. Then what continued to happen was the ball would come in contact with the wheels rendering us useless. We tried switching to our next smallest wheels 2 7/8" BB wheels which worked for a few Matches until we met a boulder that was too small. Then the indexer couldn't hit the ball into the wheels. All in all it was not fun to try to figure out what kind of Boulders were on the field. We have already developed a pretty simple fix (longer cylinder farther back) but it's a little late. Luckily we have 3 off season competitions to play with it.
