Re: High Goal Vs. Low Goal
I believe that at the highest levels of play, shooting in the high goal is necessary. The breaching points are limited for the powerhouse teams that can consistently and quickly take down all the defenses. Also, an accurate high goal shot from farther away would make for a faster cycle time than rolling up to the batter and scoring in the low goal. High goal shots will be where games are won or lost, imo.
So, if your team's goal is to build a robot that wins regional, I think scoring in the low goal is not the way to go. Unlike 2014, you can't park in front of the low goal and score quickly and almost certainly by feeding from the human player's caught truss shot.
However, if your team's goal is to build a robot that works, and you're not confident your team can make a good high goal shooter, it would make sense for your team to go for the low goal.
In addition, if your team's goal is to challenge yourselves/the students, then of course your team should go for the high goal whether or not that would be wise in terms of winning the competition.
It all depends on your team's goals. What do you want to do?
