Re: Is This Not A Viable Strategy?

You got a couple different things going on in this thread:
Go ahead and try to balance in hybrid, just use the Kinect station as an Stop function. Make sure you test it out a few times on the practice field, with a real bridge. Also check your braking, so if the human player waves their arms enough the robot will stop and not slide off.

I would do a fair bit of scouting and in matches where it will be easy to win with a balance, I would go for the points, in matches where you probably don't stand a chance, get the coopertition points.

Also, how much traction do you have on the bridge? Do you have the ability to push someone else up the bridge? That will go along way if you could find a good way to cooperate with your teammates.
