Re: Efficient Points

3 gears by a single bot in auto ain't happenin'. It isn't about a world class robot - doing so requires a ballet of all 3 robots at warp speed so the pilots have enough time to pull the gears up and spin the rotors.

9 gears is a great 'bucket list' target for a top gear bot. If the bot hits its auto, partners drop their gears, and the opponents are careless with even one gear, that's "only" 5 full-field cycles and 3 close ground pickups. If one partner doesn't do much of anything, and the other isn't confident its auto will hit from the side (and is therefore willing to drop its gear to go down field in auton), this could be a common quals scenario. Seems like a reasonable prediction to say we'll see 1 bot do 9 gears in a match least once a week this season.
