This will be interesting to compare to how many teams can actually do these things (*cough* moat *cough* cheval *cough*) We are developing mechanisms to handle the drawbridge and sally port, though we also will do driver practice on doing them collaboratively. I hope to see alliance partners holding the doors for allies, especially breachers holding doors for shooters who may find it much easier to go through these than under the low bar or over a B/D defense.

In the second week of build, teams' eyes are still properly larger than their stomachs. While astronomically it's garbage, teams should still symbolically "Shoot for the moon; if you miss, you'll land among the stars."

I fully expect us to get under the low bar, and cross category B and D defenses on our drive system (8 wheels 8" in diameter, 2 wheels at 4" diameter*, KoP 2015 chassis morphed to allow wheels in four planes, further modified with the "duck boat" wedge that AM should have available for sale on Monday, and gears swapped to lowest supported by the TB-mini). I rather expect us to be able to use our ball pickup in "double duty mode" to take us through both of the category A defenses, and category C is a much easier teamwork process than a single robot process. I am personally hoping that we can work out a teamwork autonomous that involves the spybot opening the category C defense for CROSSING by both of its alliance partners in the first fifteen seconds. I do not expect it during seeding, but I can always hope for it during eliminations.

*Current gearing is 12.75:1 for the 4" wheels, 25.5:1 for the 8" wheels. We have several "easy mod" changes we can implement.

Re: Defense Poll

91 percent so far are planning on low bar. Fascinating. Only one in ten could be high goal shooters with a height advantage.

The top teams will be capable of going under the low bar and have a high release point.

Indeed. There is no requirement that you be in your original or shooting configuration when traversing the low bar.
