Re: Shooter vs Dumper Trade Study

Well both systems have there ups and downs. However, I would have go towards the dumper system due to the fact that shooters run the risk of collecting a damaged game piece and getting it jammed in their shooter and then they are out for the rest of the match. Where as for a dumper it does not present such a hazard to jamming their mechanism. Yet with a dumper once you activate you mechanism you are pretty much hoping you will score all you pieces in the trailer however, this never happens most of the time. The only way you can accomplish this is by pining the robot's trailer to the wall and score. Ultimately, I would have to go with the dumper just because come championship who knows if we are even going to have enough game pieces for the four fields in each division.
