Re: Team Update 2-19 and FRC Blog - Week 0 Observations and Stop Build Day

Floor Pickup will still be valuable for autonomous for those teams going for a 7 disc autonomous. The extra four discs can still add 24 points.

I think it raises the value of those robots with less than accurate long shooters as a potential alliance pick. They will be able to rain in the discs if needed for an accurate floor feeder.

Floor feeders can still pickup at the feeding stations though it does add the trip time to their cycle time.

I see the floor feeders as still more versatile than feeder station only robots.

Having said all that, a bag day rule change that affects a team's choice of strategy still hurts.
