Re: Fuel Vs. Gears

Scoring 40x high goals in auto seems quite ambitious to do with one robot... Backing out what a robot would need to do:

Time of flight of a ball: 1s (speaking in round numbers)
Processing time: 40/4 (or 5) balls/s = 8-10s (as stated in tour video)
Wait for all of the balls to drop from a hopper: 2-3s (observed in the Hopper tour video)
Time to drive to the hopper, then drive to shooting position, align to goal, and start firing: 15-1-8-2=4s to 15-1-10-3=1s

Seems like quite a stretch to me.
