either way i am scared...
We have a set RPM for the shooter, and it sends our balls flying in a parabolic trajectory (an arc). This increases the range we have to sink our balls in, without having a mechanism to manipulate the angle of the shooter. This takes some of the guess work away when it comes to shooting during competitions.
