Honestly, to be safe shooting from 20 feet is a very nice distance. I'm sure most teams are going to be going for some sort of range around there or closer to the target. BUT, what happens if you have an awesome defender on you, and you cannot get any closer with timing running out, maybe the only way to make a shot is to fire from 40 ft???? Even if you are not as accurate as you are when you are closer (which is a given), you can still have a CHANCE to make a shot.......If you unload all of your balls at the target, maybe you can hit a few, and turn the match around in your favor. I think having the long ball could end up winning a lot of matches!

One of the inputs to our design team working on the shooter is how realiable the targeting system can be. There is no need for them to try and get distance of the 40+ range if we can't target there. Realistically we're not likely to shoot anywhere near that but, and if we could it would require a great deal of investigation and effort over say a 20 foot shooter. We wanted to determine if they could grant us that type of system, could we really use it. From our testing it doesn't seem likely we could use it so our shooting distance will likely be shorter...
