I have first hand experience in knowing how true this statement is. Just because an auto works 10/10 times in a team's own practice field (or even during a practice match at the event) does not mean that it will work during competition. That being said there is no doubt that 1678 will make a super consistent 2 ball auto happen in an actual event (maybe not immediately, but it will still happen).

Even if 1678 has some trouble getting this going in a competition (I'm sure they will nail it eventually), posting this video has raised the bar for all teams attempting to score big in autonomous mode. I don't doubt seeing this video will inspire some teams to go out and spend a bunch of time making their autonomous routines better (my team included). Stronghold will be a better game for everyone to watch and play with robots doing more in autonomous mode.

I don't understand why some people are putting down 1678 in this thread. I love that they posted this video.

Agreed I know 1678 will find a way...might not be till end or could be match 1. The field IS different and all teams will find that out in a hurry their first match. Can't wait to see it and prove to our team "I told you so". Literally day 1 I had it all planned out. In fact we designed our intake past the bumpers for this very reason 30-point auto to suck in from midline. Who knows maybe we'll find a way to get auto aim going in CV. The code works its just camera placement (to avoid destruction of it) and real estate on the low bot. At this point I'd be ecstatic with a 20-point auto. Please auto-aim revelation come to us by CV (That what worked for our scaler)

Awesome solution to the mid-line potential foul...Brilliant. CV is going to be a blast. Hope you nail it 1678. Wow.

My original plan was for us to start in spy and go from there....thanks to Team 3316 for the shooting chart (awesome job)

This video if anything, shows how most of the rest of the powerhouses plan to do it. This especially in addressing how teams plan to acquire the 2nd ball without crossing the line.

Wow. Thanks guys. Now I have to listen to Brandon ask why we aren't doing this.

For real though, this is just awesome. Looking forward to seeing y'all compete.

Great job and good luck!

The reaction in this thread is very similar to the reaction in other threads where teams post teaser videos but hide their design. Not saying it is fair or justified, but it is consistent with how CD responds.

Agreed. I see a lot of "If there ain't no video, it didn't happen" type responses.
Clearly there is video. Clearly it is possible. It just is NOT EASY!! Otherwise we all would be doing it.

Our 2016 robot is named "Adrian" in honor of our beloved 1678 Alumni and Mentor Adrian Clark, who passed away unexpectedly this past summer.

We are humbled to carry on his legacy through a program he loved so much.
