While I see what your saying here, I am just as scared of a robot that can shoot 10 immediately, or one that goes 1, 2 shoot 10.

While you may be able to dodge them a few times, all it takes is one mistake by you to allow them the split second it takes to align and unleash all the balls. The fact that they can unload balls that quickly makes them a scary team, plain and simple.

This doesnt just apply to team 100 (although this is a great bot), it applies to any team who has the ability to fill a trailer that quickly.

Just my opinion. I'm sure there will be strategies against robots like this one, but I am just giving credit where it is due to a team who completed a very nice robot with a week or so remaining, and was willing to share their design pre-ship. Kudos to 100.
