Re: What's your plan for Autonomous?

Of course the robot is up to it ;->, but how do you get totes through the chute door in autonomous when the drive team must remain behind the starting line? Do you have an HP with telekinesis? No, even that would violate G21:

During AUTO, DRIVE TEAMS must not directly or indirectly interact with ROBOTS or OPERATOR CONSOLES.
VIOLATION: FOUL and YELLOW CARD
That leaves the landfill. Eight seconds should be enough time to move all of the totes out of the landfill and off the step, leaving two seconds to deploy the wall that you no longer need to cross except for the coop points. Those don't count in playoffs anyway.
