Either way yall go good luck!

My team has a conveyor to a shooter and it works quite well, but at Kettering, I noticed that if a robot is pinned, a power dumper can drive right up and unload. Happened to us from 65.
But I have heard many people voice the theory that as the season progresses and driving improves, dumpers will be dodged more easily and we won't see any more 12-15 ball game changing dumps. Drivers should be experienced enough by then that they either won't get pinned or will be able to get out of one fast enough. In such a scenario, shooters will be able to easily compete with dumpers. I'm not sure about that, just repeating what I heard.
