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

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.
Impossible, eh? Too long to spin up? Well then, I'll make a 2 Big CIM/2 Little CIM/2 FP/Van Door/Globe/Window Motor Shooter that can spin up in .1 seconds and shoot 60 balls per second!

I guess the point I'm trying to make is nothing is impossible. Its just.. some thing are very hard.
