Re: 1678 Two Ball Auto

That being said there is no doubt that 1678 will make a super consistent 2 ball auto happen in an actual event (maybe not immediately, but it will still happen).
Even if 1678 has some trouble getting this going in a competition (I'm sure they will nail it eventually), posting this video has raised the bar for all teams attempting to score big in autonomous mode. I don't doubt seeing this video will inspire some teams to go out and spend a bunch of time making their autonomous routines better (my team included). Stronghold will be a better game for everyone to watch and play with robots doing more in autonomous mode.

I don't understand why some people are putting down 1678 in this thread. I love that they posted this video.
