shooters are still better
If both shooters were built more durable they may have been better. But the shooter design is more fragile, and it is still part of the outcome if your robot breaks. Thats like saying, my car would have won the race if the transmission didn't blow up. So, its not shooter verses arm, its durable versus fragile. That is the design dilemma.....
