Re: 2014: the year of the underdog
The opening post of this thread is an extremely astute analysis of this years game considerations, and the advice for the build approach is spot on, IMO.

Our team has decided to build the KOP frame & drivetrain ASAP.

In parallel we are planning to build a precision shooter based on a surgical tubing driven ram with an infinitely variable retraction winder.

We want to determine that we can reach a 90+% success rate on the high goal autonomous shots as soon as possible, and then proceed with detecting of hot goal, ball pickup, and other functions.
