Throw or Drop?

We're going with shooting, after all as long as you can get a fairly constant exit velocity for the ball, and you know how far from the hoop your robot is it's pretty simple physics to calculate the angle needed to get the ball in the hoop.

Just saying, trying to drop the balls onto the baskets also might hinder other bots trying to shoot or do the same thing. That would be a great limiting factor in scoring.
