Without getting too far off the thread topic, here are a few points to think about.

- You don't need to "shoot", as many are shooting, to score in the 3 point goal.

- Autonomous disks are always in a known orientation and position at the beginning of a match.

- A high climbing system is nothing more than a hanging mechanism that repeats at least once.

- Upward motion can be converted into a rotation with a basic understanding of physics.

In any case, since I'm at risk of revealing too much, I'll stop. If anyone would like to continue, please PM me.
