Although I don't want to pry for too many details, I am curious about the preferred shooting locations of the robots. Were they shooting from on the batter, next to the batter, out on the carpet, or in the protected zone of the outer works? Also, do the teams have high (goal) expectations for autonomous? How difficult do they think a 20 point auton will be, given what they know about their robots' capabilities? |
All the robots's shooters are still in some stage of development... The most developed shooter of the bunch was pretty much sticking to the center of the court and putting them into the high goal with about 90% accuracy. They are working on their vision tracking and have been playing with different shooter speeds and angles from different locations. They've shown accuracy from all over the court.... One of the low goal scorers will be driving up on the batter and shoving the boulder in.... The other will be popping it in from a bit further away.... The other high goal shooter has not yet mounted its shooter and haven't put it on display here.... They plan to have vision tracking....
Autonomous: The two high goal shooters are planning, at the least to be able to cross a defense and shoot their boulders into the high goal. One expects to be doing two boulders at some point in the season.... One of the low goal scorers plans to cross a defense and score a boulder. The other hopes to be able reach a defense....
