And as for autonomous, what happened mostly at World's this year in elimination rounds was both alliances scored all preloads and had a defensive route so that if the other team attempted something your team had planned then it will be stopped. Did your team have any plans to avoid obstacles?

Actually Yes we did... Its hard for me to explain since the programmer that had programmed the routine used like every sensor you possibly could, again this system never got tested because the bot was never built. But in theory... It could avoid what the programmer would define as a foreign object. In this case if the robot knew it had the trailer inside already it would avoid foreign objects on the field the best it could such as trailers other robots and such and recalculate its way to the final position somehow (I have no idea how the programmer did it really) btw he is now on my College VEX team
