Re: How fast will you score a gear on a side peg in auto?

So I could easily see teams decide to skip the gear and go for balls instead if they have an alliance member that can score one, but they know their alliance can't score 3. And while that strategy may earn them a couple more points, it may not be the right strategy to get picked.

My scenario was based on a third robot that was able to score both a gear and some balls.
