Re: Shooters vs Arms

I'll tell you from firsthand experience that even though arms are a good idea, shooters are going to make the points. Our problem that we've had since week 3 (When we started on the arm) is that....well, the arm motors can't lift the combined weight of the arm, the claw, and the ball. So, we tried a lighter arm. Still couldn't lift the combined weight. Given the fact that our team doesn't have much to work with, we changed strategy.

Shooters have their advantages, and so do arms. They both have their cons. Just depends on what you want to do, really.
