I'm not trying to suggest that any robot capable of driving in a straight line during autonymous mode could render your primary function moot, just that... oh wait, that is what I'm suggesting.

p.s. My last name is Olds as well. I'm sure you find this bit of minutia highly entertaining. And this post was done by a teammate of mine too lazy to setup a login, not me, i just wanted to say hi.

To be honest I do not for see balls ropping before we go under the chute, I mean if we go to ours it will take what 1 second?
P.S. You mean there are other Olds' out there?

It would be nice to see a video on how your robot delivers those balls into the Ball Coral. Again, just amazing!

Pictures and videos will be posted within a week.

your side or your opponents side?

We will have to see, however the most logical thing would be to park it under our own. However we can do both.

Hows this for a strategy - they have a super way to capture their 18 balls when they drop - I dont see any thing to grab the 2X ball, and I dont see anything to do a chinup with
so if you want to beat them, build a machine that can outscore them - they WILL be master of the small balls on their side of the field, but there are two other ways to increase your own score.
besides, at the end of the match, if they loose, your score will be = their score, so devising a way to prevent them from scoring is a loosing strategy for you in the long run.
BTW - team 93 - nicely done!

Thanks Ken, your comment kinda reminded me of Andy's soap box
post (which btw I had to help the old man get down from). Also thanks for putting positive imput.

Also, good bot. Hope to see you at Champs. I think you and Spark 5 would be good partners.
Great job as always Team 93. If you can reliably catch & deliver all 18 balls to the HP you'll be first on many team's lists, if not a top seed.

We can be off about 6"-9" on either side. At a foot we miss 1-2 balls which is fine anyways.

Good luck this year, and see you at MWR.

Thanks a lot Mike, we do not have a sensor, it would be nice however I don't think it’s needed mainly because your adding complexity to the auto mode.Looking forward to seeing you at MWR as well.

We do not have a brake, it was discussed, but we have no where to put it. We will probably drive around til like the 35 sec mark than move back under. It is pretty easy to position it under the release. Also we can be up to 1/1/2 feet from the wall and still catch all 18.
Thank you once again to everybody, I'll be posting many more pics and videos most likely on Thursday or Friday.
