Re: pic: 3641 Teaser
To be fair, there's also something to be said for score 30-35 kPA, even if you don't get all forty. The benefit of the auton gear is 20 points. If you can beat that with balls, especially if your alliance can't get the third auton gear, then I think you come out ahead.
I also think that, at some of the speeds teams will be shooting, firing 40+ balls in the required timeframe will not be much of a challenge. |

Re: pic: 3641 Teaser
40 kph autos will be done many times this season by many teams, I'd bet you'll see it done week one. The real trick is being efficient enough to score a gear as well....

Re: pic: 3641 Teaser
Week 1 maybe for an alliance but solo? I think it'll be a rare occurrence. I hope I'm wrong.

Re: pic: 3641 Teaser
The vast majority of teams who consistently pull off complex autos in any year start the second week or so of build season knowing that they'll try to design that way. Some years pick up a few more or a few less on the fringes later on based on redesign difficultly, but that isn't the main driver behind the numbers. The task in any year is high-level enough that the pool of teams who can accomplish it consistently and the pool that can predict it early will naturally overlap quite heavily.

The manual says it averages 5 ball/sec scoring. That means that it has so be faster than that. So an average of 8 seconds to count 40 balls, but if the boiler is full and the counter is operating at max output I bet its a few seconds faster. |

Possibly, but I just don't see it happening

Re: pic: 3641 Teaser
One of our prototype shooters emptied 50 balls in about 3 seconds.... Our final prototype was seeing 80% accuracy. If a team combined those 2 that's 40 balls in the high boiler in 3 seconds..... Seems pretty achievable to me.

Re: pic: 3641 Teaser
You've made it quite clear that you don't think this is going to happen.Why do you think people are responding with reasonable confidence that this will be a part of the game? It's not just a gut feeling. Of the people that have posted reasons for a response, do you have anything to respond to them with other than stating your disagreement?
You don't need to repeatedly post with variants of "I don't think this will happen", with nothing else added to the post. You've made that post already; we're aware that's what you think. |

Re: pic: 3641 Teaser
And this is coming from a team that had a three tote and three can auto. The moment you think something isn't achievable a team like Wave will show up and do it.

Re: pic: 3641 Teaser
I threw together a simple spreadsheet calculator to estimate timing of auto scoring so people can get a sense for how feasible complex auto modes are.
If arriving at the hopper and loading can be done sufficiently quickly, with a high-volume shooter, a 40 high goal auto is possible but difficult. Last edited by Brian Maher : Today at 15:21. |

Even if the 40 don't get counted if 30 fuel get counted it is a wash with scoring a gear, as you've scored 20 more points in fuel than you would in tele, just like starting a rotor in auto scores 20 more points that it does in tele. Plus you're also 10 KPA closer to that RP and 10 KPA should easily be 1 robots worth of fuel. |
