Re: Predicitions For The Rest Of Us
I don't think the mobile goals will be doing much of anything. Here are my predictions:

- The little red balls will turn the playing field into a minefield. Those with "add-on" (not integral to chassis) ball herding designs will either fail completely or not herd enough balls to be worth it.

- There will be many matches in which the autonomous balls will not be touched, either through lack of autonomous programs or lack of interest.

- Those who hang well will be few, and those who hang quickly will be fewer. Those 50 points are going to really matter.

- The 12" platform and surrounding 6" level will be a battlefield for those who choose to start hanging from the platforms
