Go over one of the three middle defenses that don't require a manipulator to clear and then score a ball in the high goal.

Hey, it worked in Lunacy ::safety::

Re: Where will you go during autonomous?
 

I seem to remember that happening during our very first attempt at autonomous back in 2011... Until now I thought that was an accident :D

Re: Where will you go during autonomous?
 

has anyone considered a 2 ball autonomous starting as spybot? Just got the drive base to do the path and it seems like a good option

Re: Where will you go during autonomous?
 

Cool cartoon, but I don't think crossing one defense, scoring one boulder, and scaling, even with auto bonuses, will get you to Saturday afternoon much less victory on Einstein. Also make sure that those legs don't extend out so far that the bumpers come out of the zone before you leave the carpet.

An evergreen autonomous strategy from a renowned and veteran FRC programming mentor.

This year, you have the option of driving over one of them. :D

It's not my cartoon. Was done by Ryan from 2338/1732 and shown in a recent episode of FUN.

Yes, one of our key design choices along with scaling, HG/LG and crossings. Hope we pull it off.

Re: Where will you go during autonomous?
 

You can never have more than one ball (nor can you be loaded with more than one at the start), so unless you're talking about shooting the ball, moving into the neutral zone, sucking up a ball from the midline (w/out breaking the plane of the midline) then crossing a defense, and shooting again, your strategy isn't really allowed.

And if that is what you're talking about, I'm not certain that it's doable in under 15 seconds.

Re: Where will you go during autonomous?
 

I believe the timing is doable, if you specifically design your robot to accomplish the task. The risk is having a small miscalculation or misjudgment based on the slight variations on the field from venue to venue or in the (often unpredictable) actions of your alliance members during autonomous play. What makes this trickier than the three-tote autonomous routine last year is that the price of an error is a foul... In other words, you have to really have it dialed in before its worth trying.

Here is what we have planned and the order in which we be developing auton modes.

Re: Where will you go during autonomous?
 

Your last couple slides are impossible as you will not have low bar there, rest is what we are planning too.

Re: Where will you go during autonomous?
 

That's definetly doable under 15 seconds. Hard, sure, but it's possible
