7-Shot Autonomous Club

[Alpha Beta]

As the list of 7-shot autos grows I'm starting to become interested in who also has a 5-shot auto from the wing getting the 2 (minimum) from the center line. It is possible that several of these teams have that as well, but will never have the opportunity to show it in a regional/district. Makes scouting more difficult if we can't see it. For those who don't want to tip their hand that they can do it... Film it on the practice field and have the video evidence available to the scouts you wish to influence.

Hoping to see a 7 shot middle, 5 shot wing, 3 shot other wing combo on Einstein. 90 in auto will be most impressive. Seeing two alliances both trying for it with a potential auto crash at the center of the field also highly entertaining.

We're hoping to add a corner 5 shot routine for exactly that reason, but it's going to be a pretty big deviation from our standard auton routine (we haven't done much with the gyro other than drive straight) so I'm not sure how successful we will be; plus we've got a few other priorities to work on first.

2415 implimented the 7 disk auto in the eliminations at DC.....and it worked Will need to fine tune it a bit more but we are working hard to improve it.

1540 was close to a 7-disk. They hit 6 multiple times in OK City.

It looks like 624, 1477, and 3928 from this list will not be attending champs.

7-disk auto not a guaranteed win, but it has a high correlation. Still expecting it to be a highly valued commodity at champs.

Put 2175 down for hopefuls we managed to get our 5 working at north star but didnt have time to work out all the kinks for our 7 disk routine. By St. Louis it should (hopefully) be ready.

Our seven disk auton would have led us to a win if we would have had pneumatics the last match. Unfortunately we used our timeout before the first finals match to allow the other alliance to re-image a crio and our finals luck continued from KC into North Star when we lost pneumatics at the end of the second finals match and didn't have any pneumatics at all in the third finals match.
We found the 7 disk auton to be a highly valuable asset that led us to be selected by the second seeded team in KC and to be seeded first at North Star. I personally expect some of the top seeded teams/alliances at champs to have a seven+ disk auton & can shoot 3's extremely well.
Good luck to all the other teams out there going to champs!

We feel like our software is working pretty well at this point for getting from 6 to 7. Our big challenge is discs bouncing out of the goal. We suspect that is because we are shooting in such a fast burst and with such high velocity that the chain in the goal doesn't have time to stabilize before the next disc slams into it. Anyone else had that problem?

624 had this issue in their last Semi Final at Alamo. We lost that match by 4 points. Not just our rate of fire of one robot, but the combined rate of the alliance at which the disk hit the chain, and some being deflected out instead of dropping in. I did see one case on the opposite where a disk would have come out, but a follow-on disk pushed it back in.
As stated earlier (by 1986) the 7 point auto may not guarantee a winner, it does make a huge difference in the outcome. Do the math....2 hi goal disk in auto = a full run in tele.....we all have known that since January 5th though.

On top of having a ridiculous climber, I believe we can now add 254 to the list of 7-disc auto-ers.

They hit all 7 discs for the first time in match 92 of SVR. The twitter feed shows a big auto score that match as well: https://twitter.com/frcfms/status/320605846356754432


Kudos to the Poofs!

Add 1717 to the list as well. They had multiple 7-disc auto matches in Las Vegas this weekend.

I might have been hallucinating, but I thought I saw a 987 8 disk auto in one match. I don't remember if they all went in.
