 What should the lesson of FIRST be? Work within your resources to build the most effective machine that you can--and, at the same time, work to increase those resources. - Billfred [more] |

Re: Shooter vs Dumper Trade Study
With the benefit of 20/20 hindsight I think the results favor the hybrid, short range volume shooters followed very closely by dumpers. A dumper's success turns out to be directly related to the speed of the dump mechanism. The fast dumpers like our alliance leader Team 179 Swamp Thing were very effective.
Overall, I think, the tracking long range shooters were the least effective. The challenge of tracking and ranging along with the required leading of a moving target is a daunting one. It will be interesting to see if more software development before Atlanta will improve their performance substantially. |
