Re: Shooter vs Dumper Trade Study
There is a hybrid option that really doesn't fall into these two categories though. A shooter doesn't have to use a turret and camera (and may not want to since it restricts you to one ball at a time), but could instead pursue a similar strategy to a dumper of getting close to an opponent's goal and unloading a large amount of balls into it. Being a shooter allows you to power the balls (instead of relying on a gravity dump) and gives you a few foot range rather than requiring your robot to be right next to the opponent.
