Re: Fender Bots

Our robot was a 3point fender bot. We were scoring very high at Traverse City, however we also have a catapult which is a little slower, but can shoot from the key.
Off the cuff, I think we were averaging >20 basket pts per match in quals, and all of our elimination matches had 40+pts (IIRC) and our autonomous (which used this catapult) was shooting 90%+ by the end of the day Saturday.

My only complaint (as the programming mentor) is that we didn't use the catapult enough outside autonomous to get a feel for using it later when we were being defended (though our alliances defender bot did an awesome job on guard duty).
