Yeah but the issue is its unpredictability. For example, the ramparts tend to send robots in any direction, and there's no good way to predict that. Also, a couple inches can be a big deal, particularly when trying to shoot without a vision system. Earlier in the season, we calculated that the margin of error when shooting the high goal in auto (if you go straight through the low bar and spin) to be ~1.5 degrees and 2-3 inches IIRC.
