Scoring Autonomous?

I agree, it's very disappointing. The only advantage to having a moving autonomous is that you're now a moving target for the human players.

As regional and district events begin, I'd like to know how many teams are scoring autonomously (not with the Payload Specialist) and I'd also like to know how you developed your software, either Wind River or LabVIEW. Looking forward to your reply.

Thanks,

We had our autonomous working and following using camera and ultrasonic but we only scored once towards the end when we finally got it working

1712 was able to score in autonomous 4 times over the weekend at the DC regional.

Rather than scoring my team (612) simply sets up in Autonomous. We will track the trailer and get in position to score so once teleoperated starts we start shooting. We tried scoring earlier but only got 4 balls in. We felt it wasn't worth the risk trying to score in Auto mode in New Jersey but we will try again at VCU on practice day.
