Re: Autonomous balls getting stuck

I'd say that if your autonomous program is fast enough to get balls clogged in the hoop your autonomous program is working very, very well. Don't go changing it unless you start missing, because they'll always give you the points sooner or later.
At Waterford 2 balls got stuck in the top hoop next to each other. We launched a 3rd ball into the hoop and it bounced out, and even though it was an obvious basket, it wasn't counted. Those 6 points cost us the match (We lost by 4 I believe.)
