Re: Reaching for the Top Row?

The most important thing to keep in mind is the pros and cons of each level.

The higher row will yield the best points, but will prove to need a more complicated mechanism.

The middle row will yield decent points and will not need as complicated a mechanism, but will obscure your view of the field.

The bottom row has the least difficulty/physical consequences, but will score you the least points.


Just consider if the pros outweigh the cons, and judge on what you should do from there. For example, if a visual isn't needed because you have cameras mounted on your robot, then go for the middle if you like. Not to mention, there are various other strategies to attempt, as has been described already in this post.
