Thanks
the problem with just driving around is you may drive into your own alliance partner, who is trying to score ten balls in the center goal.

If nothing else, try for a dead reckoning approach to blocking your opponents goal, ie: drive forward two seconds, turn left for 1/2 second, drive forward for 2 seconds - see where your robot ends up, then tweak the timing to get the robot more or less where you want it on the field. then have it just sit there

or you could take the same approach and try to score one or two balls in the side goals. Even one point can be the difference between winning auton mode, if your alliance partners can score points as well

who knows, you might have matches in which none of your opponents can score any points in auton. Then one point would be all you need!
