However, if you can get around this problem it's a decent system. This is because you can (potentially if your turret can rotate) drop/shoot balls into an enemy bot's trailer from all 3 sides of your robot! You can also control how many balls go into the trailer!

My team has a great idea for grabbing balls from the ground, and having up to 10 waiting to be fired with the baseball shooter. I'm 100% that there will be problems with it, but it will be awesome if it works just like we plan it to.
