Re: Shooters vs Arms

My opinion is that Great Shooters are better than Great Armbots, but perhaps only marginally so. But when you get into the Good and Average categories, the benefit becomes less. I saw several robots that I would consider Good Shooters and at least one Great Shooter miss the hurdle, either shooting too soon, too late, or at an angle. They had to make another complete lap to try again - while an Armbot managed to score. I don't think this should be a "Tastes Great" / "Less Filling" kind of thing. Actually, maybe it really is that kind of thing. The whole point of the beer commercial was that both things were true, and why should they be spending time arguing about it. Both Armbots and Shooters are good and have their advantages - can we leave it at that?
