Re: Creating the perfect robot

I'm pretty sure a 9 disc auto is physically possible, if you have a robot with enough ground clearance to straddle the discs under and in front of the pyramid, and your pickup drops off the back of your bot (1241-style)

Looks like this:

Fire your starting 3, possibly while dropping your pick up (which faces center field), and backing up toward the centerline discs.

Grab the centerline discs, and fire them as you drive all the way to the alliance wall with your pickup up.

Grab the forward and under-pyramid discs as you return to your starting position and fire them.

It'll be tight, but I'm pretty sure its possible with a robot that's designed for it.
