Agreed about everything except that I have trouble picturing how any reasonably-executed gear autonomous would fail to cross the baseline? (Unless the implication is that someone is pretty spectacularly missing their first gear, in which case they probably have other problems besides attempting a two-gear.) I do expect the few two-gears that show up to get more practice in quals than in elims; elim auton is a real dance this year.



Anyone with a Q&A code: Figure 2-1 still shows the baseline as partway down the barriers, whereas Figure 3-1 shows it at the barriers' edge. TU1 told us that the Field Tour placement (and Figure 2-1) is incorrect, and "the BASE LINE is shown as being directly next to the AIRSHIP when it’s actually out at the edge of the Barriers", but the figure doesn't yet reflect this. Also note the spelling of baseline changes to BASE LINE after page 13. I get no relevant Q&A hits for either spelling.
