Re: 2 gear autonomous

You can't get one out of your own alliance station's loading station because of the same reason. The only way you could do it if both alliance decided to go full scale hard core Cooperition. One alliance gives up their pre loaded gear, puts on a specific spot inside the neutral zone, then the other alliance grabs it after putting a gear into the airship and then putting that second gear into your airship.

In short, no. No team is going to put the time to put this autonomous mode to either never use, or just use to benefit the other alliance only. Bragging points only.

That's creative, and I don't think I've heard that idea from anyone before, and I certainly hadn't thought of it myself. I don't think that's how one robot would end up doing a two (or three) GEAR auto, though. There are several threads already that discuss some possibilities that are more likely.

It won't happen often, but it will happen that a team gets two GEARS in auto.
