3 ball auto, week 1?

Well, I guess they have to change their name to wasp or hornet. I didn't think bees could sting 3 times.

Wow!

Wow. All credit to 33 for having an amazing robot this year. But that defense bot was seriously slowing them down on their shots. Blocking shots is way easier than I would have thought. Even on a robot as effective as that.

Thanks for the complements guys.

We actually tried the three ball auto 6 times through the competition:
Q25: 3/3
Q31: 2/3
Q46Replay: 3/3
Q49: 2/3
Q80: 3/3

One of the 2/3's was because we were lined up too far backwards (almost level with the back of the field). The other we snowplowed the second ball thus picking it up instead of the third ball and scoring it (collector problem).

We don't play again until week four, so we plan to use that time to become much better at shooting around defense. Before this competition, we had really anticipated a different sort of gameplay and the drivers mostly just did cycles (down to 6sec/cycle w/o defense.) Now that we understand how the game plays we'll be better prepared for our next competition.
