Re: Shooter vs Dumper Trade Study
We have been debating on how to score since kick off but have decided to go with a shooter. When you are a dumper you are relying on getting close to the opponents trailer. Though you can can score more balls at once you will be sitting still while dumping. I am in no way saying that there will not be a team that will pin a bot and dump their load in about 5 seconds, but it will be kind of sad to see for example a load of 7 moon rocks get "dumped" as a super cell lands in the dumping robots trailer resulting in -1 points for the load of seven you just worked hard to get rid of. A shooter can be run at low speeds and if the balls are delivered to the shooter fast can be just as, if not more effective than a dumper.
Just my .02
