How about 190 in 2004?

...wait...

1730 had one of the best autonomous modes I saw this year. Along the lines of them were 910 and 233. All three of them tracked the light via the camera and were very consistent in scoring.

330 also had a very good auto but I think they dead reckoned theirs.

Yep. Just point and shoot and hope you guess right on where the rack will be. (We often missed, though we were close most of the time.)

67, 1114, 910, 1902, 368, the list goes on. I think if it scored a keeper, it wins. (Then again, I'm more mechanical than programming.)

233 anyone? They were the only team I saw score in auto on the top spider leg. They did it almost every time in the Archamedies eliminations, yet missed pretty much every time on Einstein. I think something was wrong with the lights on Einstein though, because 1902 missed pretty much every time as well, and if anyone should be hitting it in auto, its 1902. Did anyone else notice the auto misses on Einstein?

1902

1114

Coming into championships we (1902) had an 87% success rate. See this video:

In my opinion auto mode got us to Einstein, but it did fail in Einstein. Our banebot motors on our arms were failing and throwing off much of what we did.

I can't judge others because I spend most of my time in the pits, but I did see 79 and their flip over was really cool.

One of the best ones I saw personally: 33, the Killer Bees. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! Worked almost every time, if not every time (I can't truthfully remember) I saw it. Went up, scored on the rack in less than 10 sec., and then went back to the driver's station and got ready to load.

I would like to complement The thunderhawks and team sparx because they almost had two keepers during their play-off matchs and it was timed just about timed perfect so that the thunder hawks would score then back away so that sparx could score on the same coloum


Sorry about any spelling mistakes

1038 frequently scored on the top spider in autonomous.

67's auton was money in the Curie elimination rounds.

Also - I challenge more armless rampbots to try and score in auton during any offseason events. We attempted to do this on Thursday in Atlanta and actually were somewhat close if our aim was better, and I believe some other team actually tried it during the qualifying. You may find the tops of your ramps to be interesting places to hang a keeper. If anything, even if you don't score the keeper, it may help buffer you against getting the spider leg stuck inside your ramps if you wish to try a defense rack bump auto mode. Hey, it beats just sitting there.

Who will be the first armless bot to score in autonomous????

I personally feel that 375 has the best autonomous mode. It worked some of the time in NJ (if I remember correctly) but on Newton I don't think I saw it miss once. I was shocked when they weren't chosen for an alliance.

341 Miss Daisy and 173 were the only one to score with us all year, and it was fun to watch the way the did it.

233's I heard ran like butta at Champs and they scored once on Einstien which was impressive due to the Calibration issues/field being brand spanking new.

79's I heard got much better as well.

Others that I saw work/were fun to watch or root for. 386 ( with the easy button ) 39 ( worked pretty well in vegas ) of course the infamous 67 1114 seemingly perfectly coordinated routines.

Ohh and 1369's worked pretty well as I remember.

386

I can't believe I forgot 375! Excellent autonomous (& excellent scorer overall)

[George1902]

It's "easy" to pick my favorite auto: 386.

1902, 386 and 233 are the three that immediatly come to mind
