I think this game looks exciting. I'm glad the competition is using scoring objects other than balls. The hexagon mobile goals are an interesting touch, that would make stacking in autonomous difficult.

Here are my predictions to the game.

Autonomous will be won most often by the alliance that can move the goals into their side of the field.

A robot that can score 6+ points every time it goes to a goal will win the majority of its matches.

If a robot were able to get multiple rings on the 24" posts at a time it would probably be better and just 6+. Last year, robots were getting anywhere from 15-18 at a time with the high goals.
