I know at SMR we had issues with the hot target trigger actuating down with enough force to cause the target to oscillate, which caused our robot to see a hot goal when it wasn't really there. Were you guys also deathly afraid of a dead albatross (missed autonomous balls)?
Our 2-ball is currently 1 hot, 1 not hot..something we're working on for worlds with improved vision code and timing. We decided to do the 1 2ball, 1 1ball just for accuracy reasons. 314 had a great auton shot % but we knew our 2 ball was 100% and didn't want to have any risk in missing a shot..ever. If they had hot goal detection we would have likely taken the small risk for the the additional 5 points each match. So no, we weren't concerned about a missed shot much.
