Re: Poll: Turrets for Rebound Rumble

Personally, i don't think a turret is needed for this game, it adds a variable that drivers have to more actively control. that is not to say it can't be a useful asset, but if you don't have the driver practice time to dial them in, than i believe it can be more of a hinderance to team performance, than a help.

a driver that simply drives to a certain spot on the field and points the chasis in the right direction will have a lot more success than a driver going to random locations, dialing in the shooter speed and pointing a turret in the right direction. i think many turret teams will find that they do the same thing as the non-turret teams, because their drivers can't get all the variables down consistently.

that being said, one area where turrets could be useful is on defense... a turret team driving in the backfield with turret pointed toward your end. the chasis is driving, turning and picking up balls while the turret just keeps shooting them to your end.
