Re: Shooter vs Dumper Trade Study
In my opinion a shooter robot will be more reliable than a dumper robot.
While a dumper robot can score massive points when given the opportunity, it is relying on the mistakes from the opposing alliance to be able to make a dump.
A robot with a shooter will need to use the camera to track the trailers to be a threat. If the camera is used successfully and the shooter is geared correctly so it can score a lot of balls very quickly, then it will dominate.
I think the combination of a good shooter and a good dumper in an alliance will be very powerful.
