I understand there's lot of pressure. I've been behind the driver station the last two years as a controller. This'll be my third year, but as a driver.

On our team, for human player tryouts, we decided to make it pressure and time intensive. Potential HPs had 90 seconds to shoot 36 balls. I got 33/36 in just over 80 sec. The next highest was 24, then 21. It didn't seem that bad.

Maybe our tryout was lacking ear-ringing techo
