Re: Launchers VS Arms

We have a shooter and I think that launchers will actually have less problems with defense. I stood 1.5 ft in front of our bot (I'm about 5' 8") and the ball went clear over my head! So I know that we can arc over most little "pusher" bots. Launches can shoot on the run, while arms need to slow down a little and get in possition. With good aim, we they can every place the TB on the overpass at the end. Getting the ball off is a little harder though. Also launchers are far less top heavy. As for the back spin mentioned, 1726 is a perfect example.

Ok, well that was extremly bias, but heres my opinion.
