Re: How many keepers have been scored so far?

Team Voltage 386 in the Central Florida Regional:

Center Best: 6 of 7 attempts (sweet spot)
Reverse Score: 0 of 1 attempt
Side Score: 0 of 3 attempts

We won our first qualifier (Q9) with a score of 2 to 0 with only the KEEPER on the rack!

The one we missed was due to the foot swinging side to side in time with our autonomous retry. We went at it 2 or 3 times and it was always not in the center of the swing. An opposition 'bot had slammed the rack from the other side.

Reverse Score was driving backwards to the FAR side of the field, turn to face the rack, locate the light and go to score. We ended up coming in the edge of the side foot and missed our EASY button scoring trigger. We ran this Friday in our last qualifier as we were allied with Exploding Bacon (1902) and we knew from a practice with them that we'd collide in the center if we did our preferred approach.

Side Score was a newly written mode Saturday morning just in case we ended up in the finals with an autonomous partner (like 1902, which we did as a substitute for 108). We were supposed to back out, back turn into the rail, locate the light, and go in to score. Unfortunately, we turned forwards into the rack and were too close to maneuver to score. Came REALLY CLOSE all three times though!

We will be in Palmetto with corrections for the spider side miss and will have corrected the turns for Side Score. Watch for us!

PS. According to Dennis, the field chief, we had the best autonomous mode in the competition, but I'd have to say that 1902 ran a really close second!
