This is what I get for telling people (even on our own team) what we have been doing. Things get blown out of proportion, and people start making up their own "facts" and all of a sudden we're capping "10 out of 10" or "40 out of 40" or "capping both vision tetras on the center goal in 10 seconds." Truth be told, we only spent ~20 working hours on anything related to the vision tetras. We were about an hour's work on the practice field away from integrating our vision tetra programming when we realized that our old auton (knock down hanging tetra and cap near-side middle goal, then run towards autoloader) wasn't working, so we had to scrap that hour of work on the practice field on Thursday in favor of trying to fix that other autonomous mode. Thanks to the rampant rumors about our exploration and fantasy success with the vision tetras at Nationals this year, I've got a feeling that if we're going to do something super cool like that in 2006 that we won't be sharing it until it's done in competition for the first time.
