Both of these points are valid. When my team goes to pick a human player, I'll definitely recommend lining people up, putting a 8ish feet wall in front of them, and then seeing how far they can chuck it. Why have your robot make the 50ish feet trip if it doesn't have to.

Girls, if you are techy, great! If you're not, don't worry about it. We're all good at something and FIRST can show you what that is. Just remember, be true to WHO YOU ARE.
