Shooting High in Auto - movement required?
For those who have carefully laid out field elements over the weekend:
Is it possible to shoot in the high goal without moving in auto? If so, are there multiple locations along the starting wall to do so? |
Re: Shooting High in Auto - movement required?
Yes, and Yes, if the robot is designed to do it.

I believe any of three robots along the alliance wall could potentially do this, only a few inches are cut off the top of the boiler by the vertical netting post from that perspective.

You would still have to account for the precision needed make that kind of autonomous program always get the high. Also, you would need to do it within the 15 second autonomous window, which would be very hard to do.

Since you must cross BASELINE for 5points in auto ,I see no advantage to shooting from bad angle of back wall since you must move forward at some point anyhow to collect 5..

G23. Shoot FUEL from your own LAUNCHPAD. A ROBOT may only LAUNCH FUEL while in their
LAUNCHPAD (i.e. at least breaking the plane of the line with BUMPERS). For the purposes of FIRSTŪ STEAMWORKSSM, LAUNCHING is defined as shooting in the air, kicking or rolling across the floor with an active mechanism, or throwing in a forceful way. A ROBOT that has bumped FUEL has not LAUNCHED it. Violation: FOUL. Repeated or extended violations of this rule are li kely to escalate rapidly to YELLOW or RED CARDS. |

The advantage of shooting them first before moving would be that you would giving the fuel time to process in the boiler before the autonomous timer hits zero

If you are furthest away from the boiler every time ..."perhaps" but doubtful IMO...this is not like last year where it was straight in from the spy. Closer to boiler because of plexi highly doubtful. But I'm sure some teams will do it from far away.

It's not the unequivocal best or anything, but there are a number of advantages. |

EDIT: Just realized I was confusing the LAUNCHPAD with the KEY... G23 shouldn't be an issue here, carry on. |

And I just realized I was confusing LAUNCHPAD with KEY... I'll amend my original comment to reflect that while maintaining the history.

Seems Possible.
