Re: Grabbing the 10 pt ball in autonomous

Me too. But I doubt it will happen. I'd like to be able to grab all four. There will be many matches where none of the balls get touched. Ideally you would want a machine who could either grab both the bonus balls. Return them to the corral. Go grab the other bonus balls and return them to the corral. If you can do this with good HP's and cap and hang you will win most matches without having to worry about the small balls. (((6 starter balls x 5 pts) + (4 bonus ball x 10 pts)) * 2 when capped) + 50 for hanging = 190 pts. That's 190 pts practically by yourself. If your alliance and you can get 5 more smalls balls that's like 240. Bonus balls are worth the time, I just don't know if we can do it.
