Re: auto vs. manual loading zone, which one?

As long as either of our robots front wheels are touching the triangle (and at just about any angle) we can pick up from the manual loader.

The manual loader and human player are both about the same speed for us because we can leave our lift high when going to the Human which makes up for the running time. The lift has to be low to work from the manual zone so it evens out.

For me it just depends what side of the field I'm driving from (which zone is easiest to see) and which goal needs a tetra.
