Especially at championships. At most regionals, you could slide and do well with a 3 disc auton, but at championships, you had better have something up your sleeve if you're not going for floor pickup.

my team isn't having a harvester. Instead we have a rectangular shooter with plexiglass (or something, i dont know specifics) on top. The bottom of that reaches the bottom of the feeder slot and slides down into the storage area. So we feed 3 frisbees from the feeder slot DIRECTLY TO THE STORAGE AREA, then drive off and shoot, come back, and repeat until the climb

Depends on how far you want to go at CMP. If you just want to make eliminations the bar is definitely lower, as the 2012 alliance scores in Hybrid mode during quarterfinal matches speak for themselves.



If you want to win your division I agree, there is a significant uptick of "perfect" (36 pt) autonomouses if you plot all elimination matches played. It will be interesting to see how difficult picking up and scoring frisbees is relative to getting balls off the bridge (or from your alliance partners). Will we see the A-Bomb on Einstein again?

I was under the assumption that everyone who is weighing the option of picking up discs on the floor vs only going to the feeder station is aiming at going as far as possible at championships. ;)
