Re: Shooter vs Dumper Trade Study
we also had to modify our shooter into a high speed dumper.

The adjustable turret angle allows us to shoot anywhere from 0 to 16ft
We found that in a match, adjusting and shooting is NOT a realistic option. without some DARN GOOD and FAST autotracking code.

So our robot is set up to shoot 1-3ft in front of the robot. We pull up next to a trailer and "shoot" Our 2nd driver can pan the turret as the enemy trailer moves.

We averaged 8-14 balls a round with robot and 15 balls from our human player. We are hoping with experience, our drivers can improve skills and get it up to 20 per match
I believe this is what 832 and 1771 did also?
