Re: pic: 3641 Teaser
It's gonna take minimum 8 seconds just to count the balls. That leaves just 7 seconds to drive to the hopper and get the balls, I will be extremely surprised if anyone manages it solo

Keep in mind you can also score your starting 10, then go get 30 more while those are counting... Last edited by Chris is me : Yesterday at 23:33. |

If you take 5 seconds to drive, get the balls, and re-align and begin shooting you are looking at under 10 seconds to shoot 45 balls and make every single one. Which now leaves you with almost the exact time that it takes for the boiler to count all the balls. |

I'll believe it when I see it. I still stand by that a solo robot won't be able to pull it off

Re: pic: 3641 Teaser
I would say that the 40 fuel auton is slightly easier than the 2 ball auto was last year, and we saw more than a few teams get that done.

Re: pic: 3641 Teaser
I would argue that the difference between 40 fuel auton and 2 ball is that 2 ball could be done without any major mechanical design changes. This might require that, depending on how your robot is already setup.

Re: pic: 3641 Teaser
The vast majority of teams who consistently pull off complex autos in any year start the second week or so of build season knowing that they'll try to design that way. Some years pick up a few more or a few less on the fringes later on based on redesign difficultly, but that isn't the main driver behind the numbers. The task in any year is high-level enough that the pool of teams who can accomplish it consistently and the pool that can predict it early will naturally overlap quite heavily.

Re: pic: 3641 Teaser
40 kph autos will be done many times this season by many teams, I'd bet you'll see it done week one. The real trick is being efficient enough to score a gear as well....

Week 1 maybe for an alliance but solo? I think it'll be a rare occurrence. I hope I'm wrong.

Re: pic: 3641 Teaser
To be fair, there's also something to be said for score 30-35 kPA, even if you don't get all forty. The benefit of the auton gear is 20 points. If you can beat that with balls, especially if your alliance can't get the third auton gear, then I think you come out ahead.
I also think that, at some of the speeds teams will be shooting, firing 40+ balls in the required timeframe will not be much of a challenge. |

The manual says it averages 5 ball/sec scoring. That means that it has so be faster than that. So an average of 8 seconds to count 40 balls, but if the boiler is full and the counter is operating at max output I bet its a few seconds faster. |
