Brian, I've also seen the same thing. One ball on either side of the center spot when there are Two Balls, The center spot is filled when there are three, a Diamond pattern when there are four and so on.... But I did notice that Some events, primarily on the west coast like to make a sort of 'Ball Blob' when there are more than 4 balls, they're just sort of placed on the bridge in a pile.

We are auto aiming all 5 shots (every shot we have taken in hybrid or teleop in the 52 matches we have played has been auto-aimed). We aren't always so quick to fire the second batch, it depends how straight we drove (hence how much adjustment is needed). #5 is usually out by 13 or 14 seconds though.

Now, if only one of these teams figured out how to go to their alliance bridge and convince FIRST to let them play in the same division....

Re: H.O.T. - 5 Ball Auton

Just astounding. It's amazing to see how teams raise the bar to the point that the roof has to be raised just to fit the new bar position. Well done!

I think 2056 already drives to it, not sure if they have grabbed balls off of the alliance bridge or not.

1986, at least grabs them. It shouldn't be a huge stretch to shoot as well.

...and TRY to shoot them

Really wish they would give auton more than 15 seconds.

Re: H.O.T. - 5 Ball Auton

Team 3322 simply shoots two balls and backs into the bridge, gathering and shooting as many balls as possible.

HOT, your autonomous is scary. I don't want to be against that at MSC.

Team RUSH shoots 2, gets the bridge balls, returns and attempts to shoot more if time allows. So hopefully if partnered with you guys during a match, you have an auton that will be able to do that, because that would be awesome. Looking forward to play with/against you at MSC
