Re: Autonomous Mode

Our team is hoping to be able to kick the 3 balls from the far zone into our zone if not into our goal. Then possibly climb the bump over into the middle zone.

A bot starting in the middle zone should kick their two balls but then maybe they should drive to block the tunnel. Not only blocking it from other robots but also from the returning balls going into the opponents zone.

There are alot of different things that could be done in autonomous, apart from crossing the center line. What will be interesting to me is how teams will coordinate their autonomous and line up their starting positions so that kicked balls from the far zone dont hit their alliance partner in the middle or close zone.

Also i hope robots planning on climbing the bumps during autonomous dont have the tendancy of flipping themselves.
