Re: DISTANT shooter BOTS

I don't recall any teams being able to shoot far... and accurate. Although I consider accuracy making 3/4 of a robot's balls in.

As far as testing speeds at regionals, we actually had our shooter speed tested. In one match we made some balls from beyond half-court. Afterwards the head ref came over and requested that we go have our ball speeds checked.

It just makes sense to shoot up close.
