Re: We're DOne for sure!

70-90 points in a full field of robots? Without hybrid? I'm sorry my friend, but I'm going to have to disbelieve you. I also have to mention that using any parts machined, bought, or created before kickoff is illegal.

But eighty points? I can't see it. Assuming you can place the ball in the end, you'll need 68 more points. That's seven laps when hurdling, seventeen with herding, and 34 when just driving. If you hurdle, we're still talking about making at least seven laps (+ last one to plae the ball). To me, that means that in just over seventeen seconds, you guys can pick up a huge ball that will be bouncing around, nagotiate around five other robots and three other balls, and toss or lift the ball over the overpass. I'm sorry, but I just don't see that happening.

Surprise me. I'd love to see a team put up 80 points in the teleoperated mode. But I just don't see it happening. The most I'd believe a team can put up is 60 points (without Hybrid), and that's with six hurdled laps and placing the ball in the end.

Good luck.
