TEN AUTO MODES? Am I hearing this correctly? Wow! How did you do that?
We plan on eight, but we've only gotten 2 done. I give props to your programmers and programming mentors.
The only suggestion I have is: be prepared to defend and get passed defenders. If that's the only way you can score, you may get 30 points and we all may love it, but you can't get any more because there may be so-many defensive-minded bots that harass you that you miss wide. (That's the problem with rapid-fire that we were trying to deal with ourselves.) That's not enough to leave you in the positive if someone on your alliance receives a major penalty. But I applaud what you've done so far.
By the way, I have two questions.
(1) Have you guys been able to make it up the ramp?
(2) What was your shipping weight of the robot (minus battery and bumpers), just out of curiosity?

We get up the ramp with ease.
Shipping weight was 120.2...heh. But we have 14 different ways that we are gonna trim some fat.
And we have plans for those defensive bots, don't you worry about that.
