Re: Achieving Consistency
Pneumatics. In all seriousness the repeatable force and defined retracted and extended positions allow your robots mechanisms to be where you want them. Giving up full range of motion simplifies not only design, but software control as well.
Additionally, using the field to your advantage to score can eliminate variables and increase consistency and accuracy. See ramp camping in 2006, fender shooting in 2012, shooting from contacting the pyramid or wall in 2013, team 254 2014 etc...
