100% correct! I think for most teams, they need to be able to secure a 10pt hang, very easy, can do it without any moving parts. Auto will be huge too! If teams can pick up off floor and score lets say 4-5(HOT, Simbotics, etc..) they will have a huge advantage.

If the last several years of FRC games is any indicator - The overwhelming majority won't hang for 10 points let alone 30.

I feel like i remember your name for some reason, it is really sticking in my head! But a lot of teams might not attempt but really a 10pt hang will be the easiest thing in this game if you do it right, beside for just driving around of course.

I disagree considering how easy it is to climb the first level.

What happens when you rotate the pyramid 45 degrees about the vertical axis?

If your climbing the corner, the angle you are climbing up at is 60 degrees

If you are climbing a side, you are climbing up at 68 degrees

Having the angle on the pole's diagonal into the pyramid is different than the poles angle from a face of the pyramid.

Re: Shooting Vs. Time hanging 30

Why would you attempt to climb from the side? especially with the bars on the outside.

Might be http://d.pr/i/zwM

Last year if you had a drive train you could have balanced if someone let a bridge down for you... Yet in almost 60% of matches NO ONE balanced.

Proving my point that teams seem to have this lack of ability to do even the simplest tasks reliably.

Re: Shooting Vs. Time hanging 30

Not that they cant, they dont have the coaching to help and guide them towards that. Teams these days try to do the hardest tasks without realizing there ability might not go beyond the simple things.

Re: Shooting Vs. Time hanging 30

FIRST provides evidence that many of us are optimists. I predict matches in the single digits and low doubles for the majority of regional seeding matches.

Ya our districts will be the same more than likely. Michigan is hard though!

Re: Shooting Vs. Time hanging 30

If it's any help, I think that less than less than 10% of FIRST teams will be able to outscore a 30pt hang using a 10 pt hang and disc pts accumulated during the last 30 seconds, and only 40% of teams will be able to outscore a 20pt hang during the last 30 seconds with discs and a 10pt.

If you can 30pt hang, (for most regions) that will automatically win you 60% of your qualifying matches. That's why it's so restrictive to 30pt hang this year; because it's so valuable.
