3 scored in Autonomous by a single bot!!!

[MamaSpoldi]

Today at WPI Team 230 scored 3 in autonomous in a single match... we were so excited I thought I would lose my voice screaming. We are wondering if this has happened at any other regionals yet?

I believe 1114 did it at least once in Pittsburgh today.....

We are pretty good at 3 in autonomous, but so far we haven't made them all in, and have not seen it done. Congrats to 230! Must be an awesome kicker. Hopefully we will join your club at our next event.

Team 67 did that once at Kettering, in quarterfinals 1 match 2. Usually we get pretty close every match, and we're working on improving our accuracy for Wayne State.

Way to wait until OUR MATCH to do that

We've had a decent amount of scoring in auto at the event, I love it. Though the one team to get 3 is the obvious king of the hill...

Team 319 got all in one match I believe as well as 1114. I can't wait until we get back to work with our practice bot to adjust so all 5 balls we hit go in instead of the 2 we have now!

Congratulations team 230!

Team 39 Scored 3 in autonomous from the far zone.
AZ regional qualification match 80.
Since that match we consistently got all the ball either score or in the near zone ready for scoring in teleop.

We are excited to repeat this multiple times for Vegas

1114 has done it, but there are many others who have the potential, but just need to tweak a little bit.

I am proud to say 217 got a triple in auton as well during elims at Cass Tech today. Even when we don't score them all, they at least end up in the home zone for easy teleop points.

I personally think the chains in the goals make it harder to score, rather then help keep balls in.

Then again, I just wish our autonomous mode worked haha!!

we've gotten close, far as i know we have gotten 2 in before we charge the bump and try to kick the 2 in the mid zone as well, usually we get at least one of them, nailing it into zone 1 , precision isn't our strong suit all the time though. we go more for a shotgun, point it the right direction and it does what you want

Team 1114 can actually attempt to score five balls in autonomous.

I was amazed at just how close they get to scoring them all.

Saw three at least twice at Chesapeake!

I was very impressed with Gaelhawks at the Suffield Shakedown. Right off the bat they honed their auto shooting skills. I knew then that they were a threat to any competition. Congrats to WPI win. They will do well in Atlanta.

I had to chuckle when I read "easy teleop points"! In more than one match, at more than one competition this year, I have watched closely as 1 or even 2 robots have spent nearly the entire match in the offensive zone, with balls, without being defended against, and failed to score. Yet if other are allowed to get close to a ball they will score it immediately.

I guess it's a good demonstration of the GDC's desire to make a function difficult yet doable.
