Re: How many balls will you shoot during autonomous?

The reason why I'm relatively certain that few to no teams will actually succeed in scoring two boulders is because the last time there was a similar game with an obstruction between the starting position and the goal was Breakaway in 2010, in which robots could also typically only control one ball at a time. In autonomous that year, little to no scoring was done, with teams instead focusing on moving the balls around the field.
