Re: Shooters & Percentage Poll

I've been told I'm pessimistic, generally, but I think we'll see that 75% of machines designed to shoot at the center goal will be utterly ineffective at doing so in anything but absolutely controlled circumstances. Recall that as the distance between a robot and the center goal increases, so does the accuracy required to successfully complete a shot. At 20', if your aim is knocked off by anything more than about 3*, you'll miss. Our machine design evolved to prominently feature a shooter, despite our initial estimation that it wouldn't be used often or effectively. Because of that, we're still trying to prioritize capacity and have a machine that can hold about ~30 for a single, large 1 pt. dumper.
