Competition is going to be so much fun to watch, with robots machine-gunning balls at the goals.

But regardless of how effective your shooter is, the problem remains that if you sit at the base of the boiler you're occupying that space. One of the (many) reasons our team decided to specialize in gears is the realization that a low-goal dumper or a basic high-goal shooter is likely going to want to sit right next to the boiler, which means there will be congestion and/or a line-up to get in there.
