Re: Shooter vs Dumper Trade Study

A short range turreted shooter will allow you to score when you are close to the goal, and from either side of your robot. A dumper probably requires you to be lined up and right next to the goal. Since the goals will probably be driving away from you, using the finest evasive maneuvering techniques, you'd have to be really lucky to be able to dump a load of balls in a functioning robot's trailer.
