Re: What won in 2006?

You know what really won Aim High? Targeting the goal.

Imagine how many top-tier robots of the time wouldn't have been good at all if there wasn't the ability to target that goal. It might have been the one FIRST game where you almost HAD to use the camera system on your shooter. And the robots that were the best could not only snag that target with a camera faster than other robots, but also could keep that camera eye fixed on the farget as they wizzed around on their side of the field and avoided defenders.

Having the ability to hold many of the poof balls and shooting them well was yes a winning combo for a robot, but without the ability to target you were dead reconing your shots.
