Re: Successful "Y" in autonomous

I am very proud to now add Team 230 to the list of successful scoring on the center "forked" line in autonomous. I didn't want to jinx it by posting that we could do it before it worked at a competition. We successfully scored several times using this mode at the CT Regional. In fact we were part of the first allliance at that regional (with 383 and 69) to score 3 ubertubes. The only time we missed would have scored but our alliance partner was in the way and although we were pushing them out, time ran out before they were moved enough.

I also want to interject that using the side-slide of the mecanum wheels really improves the reliability of this mode since alignment becomes a non-issue. It is a beautiful thing to watch.

I completely disagree. It is going to be even more important at Championships. Since many of the teams there will have a reliable straight line autonomous, those that can score reliably on the forked line or those that can score 2 will be in demand during alliance selection. Of course, as we all know, reliability is always paramount.
