A valid strategy might be grabbing two totes side by side, assembling them in a multiple stack and scoring that, doubling your scoring per cycle. I think a major decision for most teams will be do they want to be a tote handler/stacker or a container bot. Hard to see how you can do both. The highest scoring alliances will have at least one of each kind of robot.



....and while thinking about your autonomous strategy is fine, first figure out what you are doing in teleop, build your robot, figure out what it ACTUALLY can do; then plan your autonomous strategy. If you try to build a robot that can do everything, be prepared to live with disappointment.

For rookies:

1 Build a base that moves.
2 Learn to drive it.
3 Add an attachment that can push one or more totes onto the step without knocking stuff down.
4 Add a drive forward 10 feet autonomous program
5 - Only then figure out how to build a grabber, stacker, hold a container up to get litter put into it.

Experienced teams have an advantage over rookies because they already know how to do 1-4.
