Re: [FTC]: How's it going?

We finally had some 200-pt+ games yesterday, and would have had a 400-pointer in the finals had the bots not been so stuffed full of balls that they couldn't shoot many at all.

All in all, autonomous has been tricky to get consistent for us. We had an 8-ball autonomous and could have had more had the flipper not missed the chute by 1/4" ><. Yet 2 matches previous the thing went off on a tangent, turned way too far, and shot 15+ balls at the referee... The students are working very hard on it though.

It's definitely a fun game to coach. The choices you make for autonomous can put you in a very precarious state for teleop. On the flipside, autonomous can keep your opponents on edge for the whole match since they'll have no clue whether you're going outer goal or upper goal.
