The noodles support a hook which is underneath the lip of the can. Then with some very clever timing and lots of trial and error programming, window motors reel them in.

Overall, I think that the autonomous scores were very low. I attribute this to not scoring the accomplishments high enough. If a tote stack were 40, and a container set were 20 points, teams would have invested more time in autonomous. Last year a three ball auto was 75 points. (if all hot, and all robots moved into the zone) over twice the value of this years scoring.

It doesn't make any sense to compare absolute point values from year-to-year. It's like saying basketball players are 100 times better than soccer players because average basketball scores are around 100 and average soccer scores are around 1.

So is the hook already engaged or just with the clever timing it becomes engaged

The hook just kinda sits there, kept upright with the noodle, then it gets pulled up into the lip of the can when it is reeled in.

Our alliance scored a 32 point auto once at CVR, but with only 2 bots on the field (one of those weird twists of this year's game). I think this is the match; it was in the QFs or SFs:

Us and 4678 scored 28 points many times during North Bay eliminations.

Here's an example:

We had to write a 1 container auto over lunch just for them, we were used to running our 3 tote.

We also scored the 3 tote 3 container solo once during week 2:
