3. Even if you get 35 balls in or whatever, it's not like this suddenly isn't worth attempting anymore.
All of that said, I don't think this is *necessary* to win in Week 1 and 2, though if you consistently do it I suspect you will seed #1.

1>You're right. Autonomous is 15 seconds, which means that you need to start scoring at 7 seconds in (at the full 5 fuel per second rate)
2> Until it's proven that the boiler CAN go faster than 5 fuel per second, I'll assume that 5 per second is MAX ... maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised, but probably not.
3> I was answering a 40Kpa SINGLE ROBOT AUTONOMOUS. I didn't state that a single robot couldn't get 40Kpa (In fact I believe that may be the easiest way into the elimination rounds)

Again, until I SEE otherwise, I'll assume (I know) that 5 fuel per second is a good MAX approximation

Point noted.
Although that does require you to be far more accurate as you will not catch your rebounds.
