Best 2010 Autonomous

[TheFish]

Hey guys,

What is the best autonomous you've seen so far?

Individual team... Alliance... and single match

For the individual team, 67 has an autonomous mode where they shoot and score 4 balls. They start in the far zone, kick three, then traverse the bump and kick one in the middle zone.

It's a crazy good autonomous.

I would love to see a video of that. Sounds impressive.

They start closest to the camera and are the 3 balls that mysteriously get shot out of off screen

How repeatable is this? Our issue is that while the balls usually land in about the same spot, they end up with variable amounts of spin and bounce which sometimes make them ricochet off the chains or hit the metal bar on the top of the goal. This problem seems to be pretty ubiquitous among teams. If 67 is consistently scoring 3-4, I'd love to see how they coped with this issue.

My team, (1592) shoots 5 balls in autonomous consistently. The 3 in the far zone, and the 2 in the middle. Last week at Colorado, we made 4 in during one of the qualifications. Others, making usually 2-3 balls in.

Well they always get the balls into the near zone, but on average 1-3 are scored at a time. Although will all of those balls in your near zone, then they can easily score them.

I think the issues you mentioned are affecting all teams out there, and can keep anyone from scoring a perfect auton mode from zone 3 every time.

Check out the first match of the Finals in LA this last weekend. 9 points scored in autonomous

Saw that live... Wasn't paying attention that much after that

Best auton thus far:

2851 making what is believed to be the first "469 auton". We successfully wedged ourselves in the tunnel and our treaded wheels kept us there.

Scoring 2 or more points in autonomous is probably one of the most advantageous. 2016, 1519, and 230 won events partly because of autonomous, so I'll go with them simply due to their higher than average repeatability.

1772 definately had the best autonomus at palmetto, but from reading these posts it sounds like it was nothing compared to a lot of teams.

We are not completely consistent... at a competition... yet. The biggest problem is as you've described. The trick to getting around this is to bounce the balls on the ground somewhere before the goal because they go in far more consistently at lower speeds and/or rolling.

1502, the MeTool brigade, was able to score 2-3 balls consistently from the far end. They ended up winning the St Louis Regional.
