The other weakness we had, ball removal, will be fixed by the addition on a knock-off device on Thursday morning. We expect to vastly improve our autonomous mode too, aiming for 4 lines and a ball. We can expect to average 5 hurdles/match, have gotten seven. Definitely a top 25 bot.
Just remember, these are predictions and go by what a group of people have witnessed. As far as adding autonomous mode, which may/may not work once paired with the robot, hasn't been witnessed in action. Don't worry about being a top 25 bot in LF's perspective (they may have overlooked you as you suggested), there are way more bots past the ones on this list that are amazing competitors and complement certain other bots enough to bring in a trophy this year.
