Re: Soccer Throw or Basketball Shot?

on another note but kind of similar:
has anybody tried herding those balls into the chutes? i don't have our field done all the way yet, but i'm close, and i think it's gonna take a lot of control to put the balls in the chute. you only have 3" vert. clearance minus whatever that lip ends up being. it seems to me like it would be very difficult to do. so: a good human player can get you points, but a good robot is needed too.

as per the question at hand...soccer it to me.

an answer to my question...it's a lot harder than i think most people were thinking it would be to herd balls. they have to be rolled quite slowly and with about zero bounce to go in the chute...good luck to all the ball herders!
