How strong is your shooter looking right now? Also, it is nice to throw them hard, but are you accurate at all?

Currently, we don't have a good bearing on how accurate our shooter is, but it does seem to hit a foot to half a foot radius circle at 50ft. As for how powerful it is, we can put a pretty nice dent in drywall at 20ft.

It is incredibly hard to break a robot. I'd guess that a 1/32nd polycarb shield, swiss cheesed, and attached to thin angle, could hold against a 100mph frisbee shot no problem.
