Re: double keeper-- yes

Hiya Smurfgirl,

We have a bank of switches that let us pick up to 27 auton patterns. The drive to the other side and score there (high,med,low) was one of them, but we didn't run it in competition for a few reasons. One, by the time we got there, the opponent could easily have already put one on there. Two, we could run into an opponent scoring on a "side" spider and never get there. Three, we could run head-on into an opponent running a defensive pattern (at full speed) and do some serious damage. Overall, we figured it wasn't worth it, but it sure is a cool thing to do! Did you ever get it to go? How often did it get there and score in time? Did you ever run into the opponents?
