Week Zero Discussion/Impressions/Discoveries/Fun Facts

Another note I remembered, the roof over the driver station actually stuffed us twice in autonomous and several times in teleop. The ball would be essentially through the goal, hit the pipe and bounce back into the field. Apparently FIRST is aware of this, but it it would cost them $60k+ to fix it. They though the bounce backs would be rare . I for one hope they resolve this.

In this match we had two 50pt cycles. Tried and missed the catch on both.

Cycle went inbound > truss > catch (and miss)> pass to zone 3 > shoot.

We also had two missed autonomous shots that we needed to clean up in that match.

Yeah, luckily our drive team realized they could score from the side of the lower goal without getting any penalties.

I'm not sure how my team will work out autonomous now because we have net and we were going to drive up and open the net and let the ball roll out. Now it looks like we will just drive forward.
