You can delete your post.

On the subject of getting the mobile goal under the chute.. it doesn't have to be in autonomous. If the balls are not released during autonomous (intentionally or not) you have 30 seconds of driver time to get the goal and put it under the chute before release.

I think autonomous movement of the goal will be much harder (because of 3 other robots able to open your chute while you move the goal) but it is a formidable back-up strategy if the balls are not released.
