Team 104's auto mode was very simple. We wanted the middle position. The robot was optically aimed by the players. At the start of auto mode the shooter motor was turned on, a timer was started and the drive motors set to half speed. After the timer reached the programed time, turn the drive motors off and turn the ball feeder on. The shooter was fixed. As long as the kids aimed it correctly, it worked. We always got 3 to 6 balls in. Because our bot was so simple we put the weight in the frame and kept the cg low. after auto mode we basically spent the time playing defense and annoying the opponents. We could go up the ramp. Nothing complicated, just a cheap simple bot that didn't break. Took us to the finals at Philly and stunned the whole team with it's effectiveness.
