: I'm back and I really need to know this. Are any of the other teams considering to lay the goals down horizontally rather than vertically. And if not why? Also if you throw out this whole way of thinking. Tell me. I need to know.

: Go Knights #49

I am almost sure that we are not considering controling the goal in its horizontal position, since it have an entire different set of variables to consider and control. We are aimming for a quick strategy where we can all hit the stop button at about 30 or 60 second in the game to get the multiplier, instead of attempting to flip the goal on its side and mess around with it. We might consider it if we have time after we are done with the robot designed around this strategy.

Any other teams are welcome to try this, but be careful! It is harder than you think.

I think FIRST changed this rule this late because they do not believe many teams will try to manipulate the goal horizontally, but rather to give a chance of scoring for robots who accidentally flip the goal on its side and have no way of picking it up.
