Re: [FTC]: 5 or 10 point goal?

In perspective of what my team is doing we have a way of making our shooter shoot in any Goal, though our main strategy will be to collect balls throughout the match and fire the entire payload into the off-feild goal which we have figured out a way to make impossible to block the shooter. Autonomous will basically be driving around collecting balls. A thing I did last year though didn't have success with it because we didn't have the time to try, is to have like 15 different autonomous programs so you will have more options.

Another thing to consider is you won't be partner with the best teams all the time. Last year in 2-3 of our matches we were basically the only robot working. It came to the point sometimes where were killing the other alliance so much we had to score the other alliance points so we would get the Match point.
