Re: Ultimate Ascent Strategies

As a team, right now we are working on a way to climb up the corner rail on the outside, and score four frisbees for another 20 points. This is going to require intense, robust, lightweight mechanisms, and it might have to be very complex. However, we are also working on a shooter that can at least score 1 point goals in the beginning minute of matches. If we pick up from the player station, we can score two batches in the low goal and then climb and score. Our drivetrain this year is also going to be very robust, and be able to play heavy defense, so as to have that option, in combination with high scoring shooter robots. This giver us an opportunity to, by ourselves, score upwards of 54 to 58 points in a match.
