Re: Autonomous Strategy?

I would acually like to bring up another point. Some teams might have one or more programmers who can easily change their autonomous modes. For example. Team 245 (us) is planning to have 4 autonomous modes.

1. Score a keeper
2. Block another robot from scoring a keeper
3. Drop the keeper and set ourselves up to begin scoring ringers
4. Go to the opposing team's home zone and knock over all of their keepers

I would like to bring everyone's attention to auto mode no. 4. Many teams are going to be planning their strategy around the fact that the ringers are going to be upright. If we knock them down they can't pick up the ringers that are on the field and have to resort to the ringers fed through the chute.
