Re: The Robonauts 118 - 2013 Video
When I see the Robonauts unveil video annually, I see one of the best fabricated, engineered robots every season.
We were lucky to have been able to compete, both playing against them and with them during eliminations at Lone Star in 2012.
I could stare at it all day, marveling at how well the machine is built, how beautiful it is, and how cool it is with the LED's, laser cut (water jet) features, etc.
The best part of the video is the choice of music and how its timed with what's being showed in the video. That in itself has inspired many other teams to do the same at their own unveiling.
However, many in this thread are already trying to predict scoring scenarios based on this video clip.
As Cory has mentioned earlier, I dont think any team features too much on missed shots, robots falling (I heard of a few already.  ), and other mishaps in robot practice and filming.
On another note with regards to full court shooting, shooters are very similar this year.
Its no secret on how to make shooters more reliable, shoot farther, or faster (with PID and other similar programming aids).
The question becomes what is viable for your team and alliance, especially during eliminations.
We have a shooter that can shoot reliably from full court distance and quickly. However, you can bet that we would never do it in a match as our primary means of offense. One missed shot from a load of 4 discs is too low of a percentage, especially with a tall robot right in front of you 60" tall.
