Presuming our camera/dashboard is back in action we're hopeful to change that 99% to a 75% or less!
I wouldn't dismiss the effectiveness of cyclers in the playoffs, especially when you consider the amount of discs left on the floor at the end of autonomous mode and the first 30 seconds of the match following. A cycler that is capable of making full court shots may be a good choice for an alliance with one or two floor pickup. The cycler can take full court shots and the misses can be gobbled up by the floor pickups. That has been our strategy throughout the season.
The other thing here is that all of the shots taken have to be quality shots with low possibility of error. This is especially important for the floor pick-up bots because they don't want to pick the same disc up more than once.
