Re: Ramp bot vs. Arm bot
For those talking about autonomous: have you investigated the "drive forward for a while" strategy with a few random orientations of the goal? The failure rate isn't that low (as far as the potential for collisions go), given the setup of the rack. I do agree with the autonomous strategy suggested (of driving forward for a while on the corners, and going straight for the rack down the middle) I just don't know how well it will actually play out. As the weeks go on, I'm sure we'll all find out for sure.
my thoughts are that in the finals, both alliances will be capable of getting the 60 point bonus (whether from having a do-all hybrid, or a dedicated ramp bot), and it will be a strategic decision as to whether or not they'll make an attempt at the bonus. That is, if your alliance can't get the bonus, then you may get left behind.
