Re: Best Fender shooters
1056 had a pneumatic arm that dropped in balls for 10 points in 17/17 matches in auto (which most of you are forgetting is an advantage to fender shooting) and only missed one shot the entire tournament during teleop, no it was not due to defense. In one match we had two bots playing defense on us. We still scored 7 baskets during teleop. While some may argue we didn't have "good" defensive bots playing against us I would agree somewhat. Bots that could possibly play defense were probably more valuable as scoring bots for their alliance. Our gearing allowed us to push anyone out of the way and we could also come in from the side if not. Wish we had more chances to show it off. For championships, Baldwin team 2439, showed a strategy that can win. After Hybrid, they drove over to the other side and threw balls to their alliance denying the opposition scoring opportunities. They were excellent at it and would make a great third team. Instead of spending time getting three robots on the bridge, a risky move (40 seconds?) they went on with their partner and allowed the top scoring bot(359) to keep throwing in points. Very effective.
