Here is the rack if Red alliance hits 2 keepers apart from each other:
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
0 0 R 0 0 0 0 0
R 0 0 0 0 0 0 0

Here is the Rack if than two robots on each alliance score two ringers each after the first 30 seconds of play:

0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
0 R R 0 0 0 0 0
R R R R B B B B - Red 28 / Blue 16

12 point difference is just like the 10 extra bonus points you got from winning autonomous mode in Aim High.


Now these are perfect conditions, and it is actually possible for red to get their tube where one of the blue rings are, therefore making the stretch even larger between the teams, 20 points to be exact.

5 tubes is as much as lifting one robot 12 inches. If you start off with even just one of those tubes on the rack, thats just as powerful as laying down the ramp and going up about 15 seconds early than normal.


Auto-mode may not seem like it...but it is a powerful weapon, and I am so surprised on how many teams don't take advantage of it.
You know-- I never thought autonomous wasn't important. I'm not sure many others did, either. I saw the benefit in scoring 2-3 keepers by the end of autonomous, what I didn't see was the positive likelihood of many teams being able to score those keepers in autonomous. It was more, "I don't think teams will be scoring very often in autonomous, making it pretty boring and useless" than "scoring in autonomous will be pretty worthless."

Heh, I do think that scoring only one keeper in autonomous doesn't present much of an advantage, and I think that if 2-3 are scored, then they have to be on the same row, to really maximize their impact.
