Re: 2415 Lone Star Regional 6 Ball Auto

That intake mechanism is pretty awesome. Without the side pickup ability, that 6-ball auto wouldn't have happened. With the side pickup, 2415 should be able to pull this off with any two teams that have an intake and conveyor and can reverse it.

I was so hoping for that ball off the bridge to make a lucky roll into your intake so there might be a 7-ball auto. So note to you guys for CMP: If you're running a similar setup with a bot at your back that's feeding and then tipping the bridge, see if you can set the bridge bot at an angle to tip the corner of the bridge. If we were aiming for the corner, I think at least one of the balls would have wandered into your intake.

Also, because there's always room for improvement, see if you can get your intake down quicker. 57 could have been at the bridge much sooner if your intake was down right at the beginning of auto. That first ball is on the way after one second, so it's not like you have to worry about controlling too many balls.

The above suggestions are purely in the interests of even more awesomeness at CMP. Also, best wishes on getting that photosensor effectively replaced, I know it was playing heck with your shooting in other matches.
