We can shoot 6 high in a game if not being defended.
If being defended, we can shoot low.
We are working on shooting from the Outerworks if the defender is not tall.
A fast defender still messes up low goal shooting (keeps us from getting to the low goal).
A defender can only really block one robot. So two robots that can shoot high and low will still allow one robot to shoot high while the other occupies the defender.
Cycle time, absent a defender, is about the same for high/low. The extra travel time (distance) for low goal shooting is about what we need to shoot the high goal.
With 2 shooting and 1 defending, we would be marginal on getting to 10 against a team that defends. We would probably have 2 shooting and 1 defending, and in the last minute, if close, pull the defending robot to shoot an extra boulder or two (3 on 1).
