Thanks for the compliment. As a programmer on the team I have to admit one thing about our autonomous, nothing is absolute. The favorable conditions, if looked at on some sort of chart, are a bit narrow. Otherwise, the 'bot will be able to pick it up, but either 1. Stop or 2. Cause several people in the crowd to lose their patience, gasp, and make funny movements towards the bot as it tries to cap the goal but fails.
I'm very pleased at how it turned out nontheless. It's the first year our team's had a grasp of the mode. Our next regional is West Michigan, and we sure hope we can find a way to make it work 110% of the time.
