Re: Shooter vs Dumper Trade Study

It seems to me that the biggest constraint of dumping balls into a goal is the size limit of the robot <R11>. Without being able to exceed the perimeter, dumpers would have to be right next to a goal and be relatively unmolested to score a high percentage of balls. Still, a team that figures out a way to dump a load reliably and fast would be a force.
