Re: What are you planning for Autonomous?
Crossing any defense and scoring high? That's ambitious. Teams had a hard enough time scoring in auton in 2012, when they had at least two attempts to do it and didn't even have to move. Teams will find themselves in unpredictable positions after crossing defenses and missing shots regularly. I expect only the very best auton teams (987, 254 tier teams) will even possibly be able to cross barriers like Rough Terrain and still make a shot.
Crossing a specific defense and scoring high is also ambitious, but a lot more doable (if that defense is called the Low Bar).
I expect several events will have no robots capable of both crossing and scoring high in auton.
