Re: [FTC]:Finding weighted rings vs regular rings

Here's something I'd love to see happen this year:

Two alliances are involved in a high scoring, close match in which both sides have their rack filled with rings for 8 line bonuses. In the last 5-10 seconds of the match, a team that is holding a ring in their robot, with no ability to detect weighted rings, realizes that the only way they can score enough points to pull ahead is to score a weighted ring (involving some awesome quick head math). Knowing that, they blindly hang their ring on the corner and hope for the best, and by luck it happens to actually be a weighted ring.
