Re: Midfield Collisions

I've said it before ... and I'll say it again. I will be very surprised if more than about 1%of all robots (maybe 10 of around 1000 teams) will have the capability to consistently acquire AND score the vision tetra during autonomous. Please prove me wrong ... but I am skeptical. IMO there are several productive strategies that could be chosen for autonomous and that is what I expect our team to focus on. Also, as a referee, I will do my best to enforce the rules as written and as instructed by FIRST . You may be asked to disable an "overly aggressive" autonomous program to avoid penalties and/or DQ ... yes ... even in autonomous mode.
