Re: Making sure EVERY Team can do Auto
The very easiest strategy for autonomous would be to move forward 5 feet into the auto zone - this could be programmed within minutes especially if you had a template so you could just change some numbers to fit that team's robot.

The second easiest strategy is to have a robot start at the driver wall and push one tote forward into the auto zone - this gets a few more points

These two auto periods I believe will be EXTREMELY common this year, so every team should have programs written to do this (three robots pushing one tote each will work well), but many teams are going to try for the "triple-stack auto" (like three-ball from last year)
