Someone namedropped Aim High; I'm thinking more like 2004 here.


i agree with this guy. there will be no successful launchers, however that doesn't mean there will not be launcher like items used, however i don't agree that the human players will have to be the reliable scorers. it will come down to dumping, if you can get a cage to dump with enough force, it will create a shotgun effect, and will score more effectively than anything else.
