Mike,

I always placed the center of the ball as close to the center of the dot as I could and then adjusted our robot slightly to get a decent push in...

But, I saw some teams put the balls in placed and it seemed like from the top down the balls would've been covering the dot completely but not necessarily centered on the dot.

You might just want to ask the head ref at your next event.
