Re: Real-time balancing strategy

My team's strategy that we implemented at the Sacramento/Davis regional was to start balancing with 2 robots at about the 50 sec left mark. This usually was enough time, but what we would do is at the 20 sec mark, if it didn't look like it was going to happen, whoever was on the lower side of the bridge would bail out, and the other robot would balance by itself. 20 seconds was usually just enough time for 1 robot to balance by itself, so it probably wouldn't have been enough for 2.

This strategy worked out pretty well for us, and by the end of the qualification matches on friday our team was tied for the most bridge points of anyone at the regional.
