Re: What autonomous modes will teams have?

Do you think elite teams will be able to score multiple gears in autonomous? Will low-level teams be able to consistently score a single gear? I'd love to hear your thoughts.
1. Place a gear, dump a hopper, go shoot all the hopper balls. (Is that all legal? I haven't paid close enough attention, because I'm not part of a 1% team.)
2. Place a gear at the beginning of the season, with success about 1/3 of the time. Place a gear and shoot their preloaded balls by the end. (This is where I'm aiming for.)
3. Shoot their preloaded balls at the beginning of the season. Attempt and occasionally manage a gear by the end.
4. Drive forward, or do nothing.


I think placing a gear during autonomous is something a lot of people underestimate for difficulty. Maybe not. Computer vision is a lot easier and better than it used to be, and more people, students and mentors alike, know a lot more about it than they used to. That will greatly improve success rates.
This technology race is positively scary some days.
