Second, shooting. Pros: Very hard to block. Could be done semi-automatically. More points per ball. Cons: Hard to aim. Easy to throw off aim. One ball at a time.

Your choice of which to make your primary function (well, involve your team, too.)
Oh of course I will involve my team. I just wish they would involve me. I think that it's too easy with the center goals. Blocking will be amazingly easy and it will be hard to score. But who know, maybe I can make a case to them even though it is abot 10-1 on this.
