Re: One machine?

Personally , if you look at the potential scoring methods, I think the machines that are going to dominate the game this year are those that can consistantly knock the release ball down

and collect and delivery small balls quickly, accuractly and repeatedly

there will be 24 small balls on each side of the field, worth a potential 120 points

and if you cap the goal, 240 points

I havent seen ANY bots in the photo section that capture the small balls - Ive seen plenty with little arms that are intended to push the balls around

which is going to be like hearding cats covered in superglue

I think the machines that can pick up the balls quickly, move to the corrals, deliver them quickly, and even gather balls from the other side of the field - those are the ones that will win the matchs

capping the 2X goal is much simpler than climbing the steps and hanging, so I expect there will be more alliance bots able to cap goals than hang - so the bot that can get those goals filled will consistantly score well over 100 points per match.
