Re: Elevator robots why didn't you..

I think the reason teams don't cap vision tetras in autonomous is because the chance of successfully capping the tetra would be a less than 1/4.

The tetra's are placed in certain locations in the beginning of the match but the Field reset people are only human. Therefore, the tetras may be offset a bit which could throw off a robot.

Furthermore, if a robot does obtain the tetra then the robot still has to make its way over a goal and cap it. Robots starting out with a tetra couldn't even cap every time.
