Re: Creating the perfect robot

2056's 7 is not particularly tight on time at all. They had 7, + time to back up onto the centerline ready to collect those, all the way back in week 2 at ONTO.

1241's firing rate is ridiculously fast. I'm confident 1241 could have pulled off 9 if their chassis wasn't too low to clear a disc on the floor.

Your firing rate doesnt have to be THAT crazy fast to achieve a 9 disc auto. The problem is that most floor pickup designs required at least two 180 degree turns in order to pick up all 6 and shoot them.

1241 is one of the only ones I can think of that have their floor pickup oriented in the opposite direction to their shooter (which allows for a turn-less 9disc auto), but their chassis prevented them from driving over discs on the floor.
