This. FRC hasn't had a game without a game piece limit since 2009, so most recent games have rewarded accuracy (making sure you score the one ball you have) over volume per attempt. A 100% accurate shooter won't matter this year if you can only hold 10 balls or can't get them out fast enough.

If the boiler plays out like Aim High goals did, this game will be entertaining to watch. The Einstein matches from 2006 with teams filling the high goal so fast that balls were falling out of it (then being caught and re-fired) are some of my all time favorite matches to watch.
