we should take a poll - on how many teams did students actually practice shooting into the official goal?

Our human player went over to the practice field on Thursday evening to practice, and our bot is designed to hang and cap (we can herd in a very limited fashion). After our human player won the position, he had to practice shooting, along with the two back-up shooters, at every meeting. And I know he plans on practicing between now and Annapolis. By the time the top 8 teams were thinking about alliances, our human player hadn't missed a single shot in four rounds. And both of the rounds our alliance won in the quarter finals were won by 5 points (1 ball). I bet a lot of human players, after seeing/hearing about the first Regional competitions are doing some practicing...
