Smile Re: Optical sensors getting tricked

Closed-loop programming is good enough for most cases. However, when you are building a robot that will be in a different scenario at most times, you cannot rely on closed-loop. Open-loop seems like it would be slower, but it would be trustworthy. Would you rather shoot 100 frisbees into the goal at a 60% accuracy, or would you shoot 60 frisbees and make all 60 into the goal? The latter would be more impressive because that is a 100% accuracy compared to a 60% accuracy of the first one. Also, these numbers above are sarcastic. It would be more of a 7-9 or 8-9 ratio of made goals.
