Team Voltage's software group made that decision early on when we read the rules. Why should the drive team have to remember to drop the keeper first? We built a 14 second timer into autonomous to trigger the "score" sequence regardless of where we thought we were. At least it drops the keeper.

Turns out we didn't need it much though. We scored 6 of 8 attempts at our "sweet spot" autonomous. Our finals autonomous was brand new on Saturday morning to make us more compatible with the minor rack rotations and being allied with an autonomous-capable partner. If you watch the finals from the Florida Regional, you'll see just how close we came for our first ever executions!
