Re: Who Practiced To Be HP?

Team 710 built a half field and had 3-4 people practicing. Our bot is designed to cap and hang.

Re: Who Practiced To Be HP?

Our human player used an older, smaller goal with the newer, larger balls to practice. He did so often --- equal to, if not more than, the amount of time our drivers spent practicing. He did his job well, and is an essential part of this year's drive team. He rarely missed. Rarely.

Re: Who Practiced To Be HP?

We built a goal along with a section of the playing field. We had about eight students practicing who wanted to be HP's when they didn't have anything else to do and when we could secure the gym or auditorium to set up the field. Three of the students were shooting 80% and better including one of the girls.

Re: Who Practiced To Be HP?

I have, for maybe three hours or so. My team did try outs and I had the highest shooting percentage, and I've practiced twice since then, which isn't nearly as much as I would have liked but time is scarce while trying to keep up in school since I'll be missing.

I'm going the soccer throw (overhead) route, and it's been treating me rather well. Best I've done is fourteen in a row, since thats as many balls as I had to practice with. Hopefully I'll have time to practice/perfect my throw on thursday, and that I won't screw up during a match...

Re: Who Practiced To Be HP?

i was forced... yes forced lol to practice from my coach (i hate you rick =P j/k) ubvt we did have about 5 HP canidates, we had a "showdown" and narrowed it down to 2 on #1 me & #2 my backup... after that every night i shot at least 50-100 times with ONLY the competition ball and helped out a lot IMO

Re: Who Practiced To Be HP?

From what I saw at the regionals, if some of the HPs had practiced a little more alot of outcomes would have been difrent. At our (NW Regional) alot of games were decided by no more than 5 or 10 points, and alot of shooters were only making 60%. Thankfully we were making 90% from alot of hard hard practice.
