Re: autonmous corner or center

I am rather interested to see if anyone is going to be able to use the camera to score it does seem a lot easier than it was last year... As far as what my team will do I can't even begin to imagine, As we are rookies this year I'm sure it wont be too over the top, but Ive been fooling around with some ideas that would allow us to score both. One of my concerns on shooting for the Center goal is that even the slightest hit from another robot is going to throw off your aim and In autonomous mode (only 10 seconds this year) your not going to have much time to adjust and re-aim. which may mean you'll lose out on a given 10 points if you try to shoot.

The phases depend a lot on auton and winning / losing auton will have a lot to do with alliance strategy, It adds a strange new dynamic to scoring and it assures the defending will be the end all be all of pushing matches.


This game gives me a headache...
