But didnt robots score points during past two year's Autonomous mode. 2003 (stack attack) robots who broke the wall had boxes in thier zone after the end of autonomous mode. Past season 2004 (FIRST frenzy) team 190 hung during autonomous (50 points).
Baseballs, i am not really supporting that idea, (this might sound crazy, cause i dont think FIRST will make a game to throw baseballs around unless the whole field is in a cage and all the drivers and human players are wearing helmets and gaurds) i am thinking about safety. what if a robot has the capibility of throw the ball somewhere? wouldnt that be a safety issue?
