Shooting full-court: The uprising of the human-loader shooters

Are any of you worried that your shooter could be so powerful that the Frisbee will contact the chains during the game and simply bounce back out, especially once they start swinging?

Haven't had any problem with the chains as of yet. However I would be more worried of breaking a robot trying block our shots...

So, what full court shooters can we watch during week 1?

3015 and 1559 were experimenting with it at the Rochester Rally so I expect them to employ this strategy @ FLR as well. I would not be surprised if 1507 did it as well as they fire the disc at 85 mph out of their shoot so they should easily make it to the other side.

If I may be so bold to predict (and pardon any repetition from a previous post for completion's sake) the following:

for a district/regional/championship winning alliance, it will be critical to have all of the following in your alliance:

1 cross-court shooter (that empties the feeder station)
1 robot able to pick up rebounds (clears the floor)
1 utility robot to play defense on the other alliance AND/OR protect their 2 scoring robots

At least 1 of these 3 robots must be a 30pt climber/5pt disc dumper.

There are many strategies to play this year's game, but I just cant see any other system that would be more efficient, systematic, organized, and/or potent.

Do you know if there are any videos of the Rally (aside from the Harlem Shake)?

The same logic as those teams that are shooting from the pyramid are using is going to have to be applied to those shooting full court. The shots will have to be tuned down do that they float into the goal. Plain and simple.

Out machine is full-court the only difference is we haven't finished making our loader so that we don't have to turn back to the feeder each time we want to get more frisbees. So we won't be as efficient at it as teams like 180 would be.
