Re: Shooter vs Dumper Trade Study

I think this trend just reinforces my statements earlier in the year. Any robot whether they are a shooter or a dumper will not do well with a poor execution of said shooter or dumper. Also there will be more successful dumpers than shooters simply because creating an effective shooter is much more difficult than a dumper. To be a good shooter requires a lot of programming and careful design to increase your throughput until it is nearly similar to a dumper. I think we are starting to see that the hybrid robots, very high throughput "shooters" are starting to do very well and I think will become even more effective as the season progresses.
