Granted in the games of the past and Stack Attack was with the old BASIC Stamp processor. But have you run the numbers for this game? At 12 M/sec from any reasonable distance, the balls are in the air for a good fraction of a second. If you're a team that doesn't have a strong autonomous, it takes a few seconds to just get to the center of the field and line up.
