Re: Most Keepers scored in a single match

You start with a keeper in your gripper and drive forward towards the rack
Your partner (could even be a ramp bot) starts with a keeper in front of them and pushes it straight forward a set distance.
You score the keeper and turn around to locate your partner's keeper using camera (probably better on red keepers), UltraSonic, IR, and/or a positional coordinate system.
You grab their keeper turn around and score again.

Is it difficult? Very, but I think it could be done with enough practice and tweaking.
As soon as we get single keeper scoring working my intention is to get this to happen, and I believe we've got the sensors in place to do it. My idea is similar to your method, just with a different keeper starting position and no need for the 2nd robot to move at all.

Anyone else want to take up this challenge?

On a side note, I'm still strongly considering going for a far ringer as well, but my best estimates say it will still take 17.5 seconds, just a little too long.
