Do you happen to have the match numbers?
I'd say that at least once during almost every match with a shooter bot, one ball would go dead on in and then bounce off the chains and out.

I doubt they're shooting at an excessive (re: significantly more than 12 fps) speed. Sometimes they were shot too lightly to push the chains apart, it seemed.
