Re: autonmous corner or center

Scoring the center goal might not be as hard as thought. If there is a very dependable shot from human mode, you can always use a 'teaching' style auton mode to set up that shot.

I'd much rather use teaching styles or point to point moves than hand control of a robot to the camera. After working extensively with the camera last year before ultimately putting it aside in week 5, I think that it is easier to use the camera this year but I honestly cannot see an incredible number of benefits to do it other than targeting purposes.

I see more of a fail-safe mechanism and position to shoot from than moving shots from anywhere. If defended, most if not all mechanisms would probably be adjustable but human controlled for aim.
