400 balls does seem like a long shot, but if you improved that accuracy to 50%, 240 seems more reasonable to me.
I think that's a fair assessment of shooting. It is reasonably difficult for drivers to see and no amount of cameras are going to fix that. I do also agree that 400 balls is pushing it in terms of what teams can reasonably accomplish. I have yet to sort of make an estimate of how long a cycle would feasibly take, however like I mentioned previously the balls are in a great abundance. Obviously if you can get accuracy above 30% the necessary cycles decreases drastically. For example if a team is actually able to get upwards of 90% which I think is likely possible, the cycles reduces to 3. I agree that avoiding defense may be reasonably difficult. There are however spots that a robot is effectively undefendable.
