Best Autonomous

[Doug Leppard]

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.

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

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

[Lil' Lavery]

1902. Not only were they were accurate, they were the quickest.
1114.
39.
386.
233.
375.
67.
79.
1038.
2056.

Epsilon Delta, 116, had a pretty good auto too. They obviously did their homework.

Of the ones I saw, it's 386 Team Voltage on Archimedes - if it didn't detect that it hung its keeper, it backed up and tried again, as many times as necessary until time expired. Plus they had modes that could go around to the opponent's side of the rack.

Honorable mention to 1369 Minotaur at Peachtree and their cousin 1902 Exploding Bacon on Archimedes for consistency.

And thanks to both 386 and 1369 for helping us try to get ours working, which we never quite did.

1902, I didnt see much of them at atl, but at the florida regional they scored very fast and very consistantly

[Joe G.]

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