Re: Who's using hybrid mode?

Since the creation of autonomous mode, my team has always done something in it (well, at VCU last year we did nothing, but that problem was rectified when the arm was fixed at Palmetto). So, we will most definitely be using hybrid mode; the jury is still out on exactly what we will be doing, but we will do something. Even without scoring, hybrid/autonomous can be very useful; last year, we used it to rotate our turret into playing position, which us saved several seconds in teleop. This year, something as basic as driving forward for a few seconds can both score points and save you time in teleop. If all else fails, that is probably what we will do (autonomous beauty contests are sooo boring, we like to avoid that).
