Re: Car Nack Predicts 13-4

As I recall, Car Nack has a pretty good success rating when it comes to automatic scoring. (I'd say 100%, from the prediction of manual backup being used in 2006, but I can't remember if he's made any others.)

That said, FIRST has greatly improved said automatic scoring, by funneling game objects down to a single path with a sensor. This is not the way they chose to go this year... I'm with Car Nack, there will be issues with something getting caught, say a robot part, or not counted, and manual backup will need to be called in, particularly during Week 1.
