Our team uses dead reckoning also, if i understand the correct use of the word..

For the Florida regional, we could only score 2 balls into the high goal during autonomous..
but since we have had since december to get ready for Atlanta,
we have programmed it, by dead reckoning (correct placement of the bot and trial and error of how long to run motors/encoders?), to pick up 3-4 more balls and score them too in the high goal. It still needs some work but its coming along.

There was only 8 teams at the Florida Regional and all of them but one had some sort of autonomous mode. And the robot that didn't seemed to be built right before the competition. lol. I would say that about 5 of the teams could score 1 or 2 balls into the high goals.

The ultimate autonomous would be that of legendary team 1114. I heard they could score their original 2 placed balls and pick up 6-8 more and score them in the high goals too.
