Go to Post I'll admit that the events at Epcot were pretty nice, but they too had their problems. . . You were at the mercy of the weather, and Disney hasn't figured out how to control that yet. - Kevin Sevcik [more]

Re: Shoot or Roll?

So, Koko Ed, why wouldn't an old experienced team like yours give strategy advice to new teams? I don't get this hyper-competitive attitude in some areas. In the Pacific Northwest the teams share strategy, share code, and sometimes share mentors. Things like general strategy are relatively unimportant compared to other factors (like reliability, team organization, driver experience and reliability and reliability) that I cannot understand why you wouldn't share.

I'll tell you what we are thinking: you really need to shoot from any angle to the high goal. The camera might help fine-tune your aim, and not just in autonomous mode. You don't need to be able to shoot goals from 12 feet out. You need to be able to score from on top of the platform. You need to be able to score on the low goal. You have to climb the platform. You don't need to pick up balls off the floor. Agility will triumph over raw power this year. A working holonomic drive would be a big benefit this year, although we aren't sure we have either the money or programming talent to pull it off. How about you?
