What is YOUR autonomous strategy?

[ctccromer]

I'm starting to program our robot's autonomous mode(s) and not sure what all would be best for us to do. We've kinda decided (for now) to shoot our 3 discs, back up a little, and turn around so that when the period ends, we can immediate dash for the feeder station

Anyone thought of something creative or that some people like us might overlook?

We're pretty similar. Shoot 3 discs, back up to the center line, and wait for teleop to start.

Shoot three disks, drive forward to gather four more disks from the floor, shoot those disks. 42 points.

If you can shoot and move in autonomous, why not have it to where you can start at one of the back corners in autonomous? The left/right margin of error for the middle goal is quite large and it would get you out of the way for autonomi that need the middle.

We're muddling around with a 9, 7, and 5 disc autonomous modes. Who knows what we'll actually get working though. Luckily it's easy to change our gear ratio to one of 4 possibilities to find the balance of PID tuning and time minimization.

A 7 disk autonomous is a lot harder than people are making it to be, but that's on our table of autonomous outcomes we're looking at, but we'll probably save it for a rainy day (i.e. a match with almost no hope of winning).

Just about where we are as well. Hopefully I can get my hands on the final robot soon to start making the final tweaks!

My team is pretty much doing the same. Score frisbees. Maybe go somewhere. Theres probably going to be a few climbing autonomouses. I really want to see a defensive autonomous, but I have no idea how it would work, or what it would do.

Our robot will use sensors to collect information about its environment, then discard that information and drive into a wall.

Isn't this everyone's autonomous?

We've done that autonomous. After several years of refinement we decided to skip the information collection and just drive into the wall at the earliest opportunity.

[Ryan Caldwell]

Ours is to be adaptable to our partners.

We plan on having 5 different starting positions with several variations of movements and shooting that will net anywhere from 18-42 points.

Our hopes are a picked alliance will be attempting 78 points for an autonomous score.

Our team plans on either just shooting 3 discs, or starting in back of the pyramid, shooting 3, and then picking up 2 more and shooting those. We want to be flexible too for other teams.

[MrForbes]

I don't think we have a strategy yet, but we might come up with a tactic such as having the robot shoot three discs, then sit there with a big grin on it's face

oh so you are going for floor pick up?

Are you copying us? We are building the same exact thing. We are hoping to win an award for it.
