You might want to check that. It's a bit ambiguous, but it appears that an auton ball has to be placed touching a robot to be 'loaded' on the field. The exception is for goalie bots as there ball has the option to be placed anywhere in the white zone on your side of the truss as long as it's not in direct contact with another robot already loaded (or in contact) with their own ball. So, for this to work, at least how most everyone I've talked to has interpretted it, is that one of the balls will have to be in bumper contact with another alliance partner and not in contact with the shooting robot and the other robot would be able to be placed in the goalie zone. Or, if they prefer, also in bumper contact with the other ball.

I'm not misinterpretting the rules, am I? If so, please, someone clarify that for me. Thanks!

You can have more than 1 robot start in the goalie zone if you choose.

Our pneumatics expert (the guy filming) ran around the gym screaming for a solid 15 seconds after this test.

Man, to bad you guys did not post a video of him also.

But besides that, awesome job on doing a 3 ball auto, my only question is how repeatable is it?

Very impressive. Any plan for the third ball rolling left/right instead of straight forward?
