What the better way to score?

[sloteera]

We were thinking,

There is three ways of score:

- Shooting the ball with camera tracking

- Make a big storage (bucket... well, I don't know which the correct word),to store many balls, and go closer of your opponent and drop it at same time.

- Trust in Payload Specialists

- Other way????



We think that, the better way is the combination between shooter and bucket...
What your team are thinking about?

Depends how many penalties you want to get. There's only one legal way to block, and it's very, very tricky; in fact, it's almost impossible to do.

Actually, there's another legal method that's easier, but I keep my council on that. I guarantee someone will use it, though.

There is probably more than one way that will work successfully. Even with a given type of scoring, some teams will succeed enormously, and others will struggle. I'm guessing robots that can "shoot" from a distance, or dump in masses will be prevalent, and if designed well, both have a chance of success. People will have much better insight into "good" methods of scoring once competitions start... :rolleyes:

My best advice to you is to pick a design and stick with it- practice with it and tweak it, and that's your best chance at having a successful scoring mechanism.

Our team is doing a pneumatic dumper. It will have 3 spots to score, the left side of the robot, the right side of the robot and the front of the robot.
If we can master this design it will be a force to be reckoned with

Truer words have rarely been spoken.
