Re: Shooter consistency

This is what we learned at our 2nd MAR district and we ended up with the most Autonomous points. We had the same problem. Make 3 in Autonomous and then for some strange reason, frisbees were high. So we said, slow down the speed. Didn't seem to help. Our analysis was that at slower speeds with the frisbee encountering a lot of air resistance, the frisbee had a tendency to "float" and end up high. We cranked up the speed (within reason - there may be a point of diminishing returns) and adjusted our angle. If you can not adjust your angle, then position your robot differently (works great when shooting from the side of the pyramid). This works. Watch how other teams shoot. Keep it simple and good luck!
