Re: What autonomous modes will teams have?

Does two gears actually give you any more points than one? I believe that you need one gear to get the first rotor spinning, and then two for the next rotor, for a total of 3 if you want a 120pt auto, and you can't use the gear included in the airship until teleop begins. Certainly a two gear auto is better than just one, as it gives you a nice head start on one of your rotors (that can have its second gear slotted in as soon as teleop begins) but doesn't really give you those auto bonus points for the second rotor.
