Where are you shooting from and why?

[Poseidon5817]

Originally we were shooting from the corner (spy box area), but eventually we moved to shooting from just under the low bar. It is quick to line up and very accurate, so it is very easy to take down the tower without defense.

We can move to the corner or batter to low or high goal if we need to due to defense or mechanical failures, however.

our robot, trogdor, can shoot high or low. when we go for low, we line ourselves directly up on the side of the tower and hug it. we've had extremely good accuracy with low goals, and when shooting high goals, we place ourself 13-14" from the high goal, a little distant from the defense we just crossed. my distance estimate may be off by quite a bit, however. sometimes we place ourselves directly on the skirt of the tower in front and shoot high.
