Shooter vs Dumper Trade Study

[Creator Mat]

I don't think the dominate game plan this year in tele-operated mode is going to be getting balls and scoreing with your robot. I think the dominate strategy is going to be who can gather the most balls and hoard/ return the most to your teams throwers. I think this because it is going to be a lot easier (in my opinion) for your throwers to score then the robots. so where im going with this is a dumper with an effective ball gathering system is better. For the the purpose of less time standing at reloading station.

Pros: team throwers don't have to be as accurate and can rapid fire and a simpler robot (remember K.I.S.S.)

Cons: this is a maybe and don't quote me on this but somehow i heard that there is a rule that you can only put 1 ball at a time in the reloading station (i.e. no mass dumping of 10 balls at once) so this might rule out a dumper.

Food for thought
