Re: The burning question: How many ringers can your team REALISTICALLY score?

I think this year in game programming is going to have a much greater effect especially for teams like Wildstang. If a team can reliably hit the rack during autonomous mode that can be carried over into human operated mode. Then once a ringer is picked up a driver can hit a button and in a matter of seconds a good team can score. Granted defense will have an effect on this but with a highly maneuverable drive train like a well done crab its possible. Especially since if the offensive bot has a crab drive and the defensive one doesn't it won't be too difficult to get around the defensive bot.
