Exactly!

As far as running out of ammo goes: This game is heavily reliant on human player/driver coordination. It's like playing fetch with a dog... you have to practice throwing them and having the robot run them down quickly (assuming your robot gets them off the floor, if you top load you better have a $@#$@#$@#$@# accurate human player).

This game will be decided almost entirely by auto mode when the competition really heats up.
