You have to have a ball acquisition manipulator that doesn't need to grab but about 1/3 of the ball to pick it up.... Your autonomous routine needs to have precise control of the robot's location.... You have to be able to do it all quickly.... Picking up the extra boulder, crossing a defense with it and scoring it is not the hard part.... Doing so without committing a mid-line foul and all under 15 seconds is the hard part....
We had one of the better three-tote autonomous routines last year and, as we have analyzed this, we do think it will be trickier to pull off than last year's routine.... It can be done, but will the time it takes to develop it be justified by an extra 10 points a match?
