Hmmmm.... sounds like these robots are going to need a computer onboard to be able to pull this off :^)

I dunno, I don't think it's betrayal. Like Ken said, most everyone will come to the same conclusion about what's the 'best', but then reality sets in and they have to compromise based on their capabilities.

So, there's no betrayal in stating what everyone knows or will eventually know. And, aren't we all here to help one another succeed? In match play, YOUR ranking is based upon the LOSING alliance's score (see 8.3.7), so "it is in
your best interest to support your opponents and win by helping each alliance score as many points as possible."

As I see it, that means sharing strategy and even prototypes.

Keep in mind there is a small ramp in front of the corner goals, so your gonna have to put a little bit of velocity into those balls, cant just nudge em in like some other years.posted by Lil' Lavery

I said in another forum but if you put any real force onto those balls before they are inside the goal then they will most likely hint the top edge of the goal and rebound. So a nudge would work much better. ;)

OR...you could have a "draw bridge" that lowers to about ...say.... 5" about above ground level and have a hopper with a slanted bottom. the balls in the hopper would roll right in after clearing a 1" high incline. ...or something like that...
