Just some thoughts.

Well it wouldn't necessarily be that crazy. I think we both know that 75 balls in 10 seconds is quite optimistic. I would actually prefer the 50 over the 9, because it's more balls per second. But if it took a lot longer to score, and the robot misses a lot of shots then theoretically the robot is just sitting there and not scoring points. I would be looking for robots that are efficient. I think that makes sense.
