Re: Autonomous Strategy

I like to hope they can at least move forward, but yes you could. I would be impressed with a robot that can move all three totes, and all three bins, but its possible :]

Maybe as an offseason parlor trick. Still betting against it.

Agreed. Each robot stacking one yellow tote is something that will likely not happen at all, and if it does, it's probably at IRI with 3 really good robots who do it just so they can say they did it.

Think about how rare it was in 2012 to have 2 robots feed their pre-loads into the 3rd who shot all 6. That happened an extremely low number of times. Thiw would be much more difficult to coordinate than that was.

I hope teams with only so much resources (everyone is limited on time) do not invest a lot on creating multiple routines to specifically tailor to this. I have a feeling your effort may go to waste.

The container set does not need to be the ones by the totes. It would be more beneficial for them to off the step.

The Q&A really fleshed out the auton ability shout out to that.
I am sad you can't make more then one container set though.

Re: Autonomous Strategy

I find the idea extraordinarily attractive, but to be realistic, would probably not work out.

The fact of the matter is this:
Each team should at least be able to put one yellow tote into the zone, and thus collectively gain points for the alliance.

However, it would not be a bad idea to at least program your robot to find a second yellow tote, and stack on top of that one. This way, even if the third member doesn't quite fit the bill, you still should have a stack of at least 2.

You get points for a set of 3 yellow totes in the AUTOZONE and more points if the set is stacked. There are zero points for a stack of 2 if the third tote is not also in the AUTOZONE. The yellow totes have no value (stacked or otherwise) in teleop unless you then move them to the STEP.

Would you be willing to bet an alliance worth of Pronto Pups?
