Re: Autonomous "Rube Goldberg" - 862, 3322, 3601

This was amazing. The only thing I didn't like about it was that our last shot usually only counted for 3 points. I think that if we shot a ball in autonomous, it should count the full 6 points. Otherwise, we actually have less than 15 seconds to do what we need to do in auton. Someone on my team found a Q&A question from 1114:

"If a robot releases a ball prior to the timer hitting zero during the hybrid period, but it completely passes through the top hoop after the timer hits zero, will this ball be worth 3 or 6 points. What is the determining factor? Time of: release, passing through the hoop, passing by the sensors?"
Answer is in pending state

So it looks like we found out the answer today. I am not a fan of this small quirk of the game because it gives us fewer than 15 seconds to complete our task.
