To explain 469's design (Just watched the last few matches at Cass Tech), it's really quite elegant. In autonomous mode it drives over to the tunnel and gets into position (this is to prevent robots from blocking it from the tower later). It then goes partway into the tunnel (Pretty much making it impossible to push out of position) while their ball redirection mechanism opens up over the platform. Essentially, it's just a pair of tracks which point toward either of the goals. I don't know how they select which goal the ball will be redirected to, but it probably isn't very complex. What's scored them so many points is having 217 in the scoring zone as well, herding up and scoring the balls that don't make it into the goal or those balls which are blocked. It's an elegantly simple system which has left my jaw on the ground each time I've seen it. 469 isn't just good; it's DISGUSTINGLY good. Might have to rank up there with 71's 2002 game breaker as well, it's just that awesome.
