At BAE, our main strategy was actually to run cycles from the feeder station to the pyramid. With no defence played, we were able to run 7 cycles (shoot 28 discs) into the high goal and low hang. We did this in finals match 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lvjdN...IM554Q&index=7

We only demonstrated our full court shots during 2 matches, where we were fairly certain that no defence would be played on us. However, when defence was played, it turned out that we gain more points through running cycles than with the long bombs.

Thanks for the kind words!!

Just watched the Kettering videos. Looks like 70 had some similar autonomous ideas to our team. Who else on this list was consistently scoring extra autonomous disks? It was more rare than I thought it would be week 1.

Hearing those shots hit right above the driver station over and over again before they ever touch the sticks has to leave quite an impression with the opposite alliance.

We didn't at Traverse City but fully expect to be doing so at West MI. 2474 struggled with it early so they aren't on this list, but they were shooting more than 3 later on. I am also a bit surpised at how rare this has been so far, considering how valuable and relatively simple it is to do.

Gotta love them Martians...
