Re: [FTC]: Warning about Exclusively-Defensive Robots(and how to build one)

In Texas, we had a defensive robot which simply left the parking zone, drove into all the rolling goals and then backed into their parking zone. Effectively disrupting all the rolling goals so we were unable to score any points in autonomous. Very frustrating and unGP in my opinion. We were programmed to go down the ramp, score into medium and low goals and then drag low goal to parking zone. A total of 100 points in auto. Our program took the kids a couple of practices to make reliable, theirs was probably done in 5 minutes and does not break any rules.
