Our target was to have the ball traveling nearly horizontally through the goal, to increase the goal's effective cross section. This isn't feasible with the bumpers over the outer works. We'll probably have two good ranges for shooting, one on the way down (at the outer works, when a defender is active) and one on the way up (near the batter, preferred if no defender present). This trajectory will also give us a rather high launch angle, which should be better to get over defending robots.
