Go to Post I am sad that the Patriots lost, and I am happy for both teams that won...but I am even more thrilled that for the next two weeks robot building in the midwest comes to a standstill. ;) - Jessica Boucher [more]

I'm not saying autonomous isn't important or denying the advantage floor pickup could bring. And yes, it would be unlike 1114. From what I saw at week 1, consistent autonomous programs gave a huge lead even with no extra discs. I'm just entertaining the idea that maybe, just maybe, they actually went without it.

It could also be possible that the picture doesn't have a floor-loading mechanism because they have something similar to 1986's arm and it just isn't mounted. If the area below the shooter is actually a "gate" that can be used to human load, it could in theory be used to collect discs from the pickup arm. But I didn't design the robot, so I really don't know. In any event, we shall see in a few days.
