Re: Where will you go during autonomous?

And if that is what you're talking about, I'm not certain that it's doable in under 15 seconds.
I believe the timing is doable, if you specifically design your robot to accomplish the task. The risk is having a small miscalculation or misjudgment based on the slight variations on the field from venue to venue or in the (often unpredictable) actions of your alliance members during autonomous play. What makes this trickier than the three-tote autonomous routine last year is that the price of an error is a foul... In other words, you have to really have it dialed in before its worth trying.
