At the New Jersey regional we chose not to score during Autonomous for many reasons. First off we felt that because our Autonomous mode was not fully ready for scoring it was not worth the risk. We attempted scoring earlier but was only able to score 4 balls. Those first 7 moon rocks are very important so we choose only to line up with a trailer so when we started teleoperted we were ready to go. This gave us a greater chance of scoring those first 7. Now at the NASA/VCU Regional we will go back to trying to score in Autonomous because I think in Atlanta this will be a very important ability.
Here are some good videos of our robot tracking during the playoffs (all this video was provided from our "bot cam" that was mounted next to the actual camera)
(Quarterfinal Match 1, locked on team 136)
(Semifinal Match 1, locked on team 708)
(Semifinal Match 2, locked on team 708)
(Semifinal Match 3, locked on team 1218) (My favorite)
