That was kinda the point... we've run trials in our practice field, placing 3 other robots on the field all playing defense, and (autonomous included) we've been able to max out at 112(4) points, and min out at 50-ish (discarding outliers/broken robot trials). trust me, though, we've still been drilling them with practice hours, strategies, avoidance maneuvers, etc.

our robot's autonomous was also working badly at the CT regional for some strange reason... we have it all fixed up for the nationals. In theory, 5 lines 2 balls no matter what the ball position/starting position is. Its pretty sweet.
