They had never shot before from the center, they knew they had the range but never once actually tried it. They lined it up for the first time and made 7 out of 10 balls! absolutely stunning everyone in the stadium it helped lead us to a victory in the semi finals and propel us out to finals.

The coolest auto was 190 and 233 in thier first qualifying they came out and each shot like 8/10 balls into the blue center goal, scored a staggering amount of points in auton.
Actually... we worked on that auton quite a bit before it just magically worked . The arm band's power was increased as well as the trajectory, and as far as I know a bit of practice went on outdoors. We were worried about the speed limit, but it didn't seem to be strictly enforced (we were not shooting hot, just close after the increase (11.6 m/s-ish) heh, we could still go faster/farther if we want to).

But trust me, our whole team was ecstatic after that first test. I would guess that 3/4 of the team figured it wouldn't work the first time . Just glad it worked out in the long run!

Probably my favorite auton periods involved 86 spitting into the goal all of their balls within just a few seconds. Also the time when 86 got blocked in auton was pretty sweet (I think it was by 1345).
