Re: Shooters or Nonshooters
I feel that most teams will start out with shooting. As the season progresses and if the team feels that they can't get the shooter to work, they can easily switch to a gathering bot, similar to those from 2004.

This is just like last year's dilemma between capping and containing, with one difference: it was more advantageous to cap because it allowed you to own a goal that was already capped.

This year, the only difference between the center goal and the side ones is the score. So I think that though we will see a lot more teams going for the side goals than last year, shooters will still outnumber non-shooters.
