Shooter vs Dumper Trade Study

[Swampdude]

So what are the pros and cons of either design and why is one better than the other?

I'll start:
To me, shooting assumes you can't get to a trailer to score and you need to score from a distance (I guess because of the limited drive capabilities). But having 3 trailers to score in seems like there will always be one nearby. Also shooting seems like it will take too long and have more chances for jamming. Also in Aim High hitting a stationary target was hard enough, so how do you hit a smaller moving target with non-uniform objects (broken balls) consistently?

A dumper assumes you can get up close to a trailer, scores all at once and less mechanisms to jam. Doesn't care about ball shape.

I realize there's hybrids but ultimately it seems you still fall into one of these categories. Yes/No?
