Exactly what I was thinking when I saw you guys sit there. At nationals, I think the deciding factor will be who can get the most balls and not necessarily who is able to score the first 8 in autonomous.

True, very true we made a long autnomous that releases a ball shoot then scores it can be interchanged with the far or close ball chute.

When we are close to the goll we aim the robot at it and then it normally shoots 4-8 of the balls in we are working new auto programs for the robot becouse we got the robot done a few days before the competition so we didnt have much time to program.

Derrick is correct. Our only autonomous was created one day before the competition because we were planning to shoot without moving.

We had some killer autonomous last year, and we hope to have the same by the time we hit Columbus Ohio.

Here's our sit and shoot... 4 out of 8 is a good start.

It will be enhanced into move and shoot then dump & collect.

See out autonomous video from last year.
