Re: Fuel Shooting Census

To me, the more important question is what else are you doing while shooting into the high goal?

In my opinion, the very best teams will have accurate turreted shooters that can shoot into the high goal almost absentmindedly while the robot is placing gears, dumping hoppers, etc. I think robots that have to sit in a very specific spot for a long time to shoot accurately are going to have a harder time than they expect, especially if everyone chooses the same spot right up against the boiler.

The optimism about 10-12 accurate high goals per second is fantastic and I truly hope to see it. However, there are no safe zones, defense will be a thing for sure and I just think high rates + high accuracy are going to be more rare than this thread reflects.

I honestly hope to be proven wrong on that.
