Re: What is the hardest (yet possible) task in this year's game?

In my opinion, it is impossible to score 10 balls in 10 sec. For a ball to be scored, it must exit the chute: "<G05> In order for a ball to score, it must enter the goal and exit via the exit chute..." this takes anywhere between 1 and 3 sec. (with multiple balls).

This leaves you with 7 seconds to shoot all of the balls (7/10ths of a sec. per ball). To shoot more than one ball per second using a CIM to drive two 8" wheels a few thousand rpm a flywheel is required. To bring your shooter up to speed it takes around 3 seconds.

The final total is 4-6 seconds to shoot 10 balls (2/5-3/5ths of a sec. per ball). Anyone who can shoot and score all 10 balls in 4 seconds autonomously deserves more than an award.
