Re: The Aerial Assist Playbook

Ervin, as much as I would love to say we were using magic, the only magic here is a little bit of coding and working together. We figured out that we have a few different types of robots, an "All" robot, "Shooting" robot, "Catching" robot, "Pushing" robot, and a scenario which exists if no robot is on the field for the match. More information on what each robot class is is detailed in the app on the about page, and there are a few assumptions made, such as a shooting robot should be able to pass the ball over the truss.

After we defined what each robot type was, we sat down and figured out "how to make the best, most-point-maximizing" play for each scenario, which would of course be a 3-assist over-the-truss pass and high goal shot. We do not account for defense in our app (we had a very limited time to finish this as our competition is next week). In our app, you simply just choose what each alliance partner is capable of and it will generate your play, which one of our members drew in AutoCAD.
