Scoring 3 gears gets you the bonus for 2 rotors. So I could easily see teams decide to skip the gear and go for balls instead if they have an alliance member that can score one, but they know their alliance can't score 3. And while that strategy may earn them a couple more points, it may not be the right strategy to get picked.

Re: How fast will you score a gear on a side peg in auto?

I'm expecting under 10 seconds.

At the latest week 6 is when we will see a 3 gear auto, to go against what was said earlier in the thread.. im kinda hoping to see one as early as week 3...

My scenario was based on a third robot that was able to score both a gear and some balls.
