Re: Going for 3 robots on Ramp?

Third, it would take at least a minute, probably more, to get this done... which means you'd have to forgo most of the ball-shooting part of the competition. At that point, you've put all your eggs in one basket, and, if you fail, you could end up with just about zero pts!!
One would imagine it will not even be attempted, but considering the massive points at stake I wouldn't count anything out yet. The FIRST community has surprised me every year thus far. I don't expect this season to buck the trend.
