Re: So, do we rely on our payload specialist?

We have been practicing with a person walking/running around with a garbage can attached to them and having people throw the orbit balls in them, while it is hard because the person with the garbage can can pay attention and move really fast from the incoming balls, our kids were making about 65%-70% of their shots when the "driver" of the garbage can couldn't see the balls coming. Also at the competitions the drivers will be very distracted with their own strategies and won't be able to react as fast. Now i know the real competition is way different then just chucking balls in your workshop, but with a little practice i don't think it will be that big of a difference. Just like anything people do to be good at it you need to practice.
