Challenges:
1)4WD/human loader/any turret Score above 30 in a 1v0 match.
2)any drive/no hopper/no turret Score by ramming balls into the the in front of goals and bouncing them into the one point goal.
3) Balance with at least 45% of your robot off the side of the bridge
4) Get outside of the playing field and score a shot from there. (i've done this once with the robot completely tipped over)
5)shoot only from the opposing alliances side.

That's all i can think of right now.

Not 100% here, but doesn't an opposing alliance robot need to be scoring in order for you to load from the human player?

Why don't you just sit in the alley and get loaded by the human player and just keep shooting from there?

That's part of the challenge it's hard enough to get balls in the game with another alliance partner, but with this set up you have to ram balls into a fender and send them into the air and catch them in your hopper. until of course you make seven shots then you can continuously load from the opposing alliances lane

Another question: is there any benefit of having mecanum over swerve? (in the game, not in real life)

Swerve is slower and can't spin while translating. The game also does a good job of mimicking how strafing can reorient the drive base when you didn't want to, which excaberates this problem.

195 is my highest score in a 1v0 match. My strategy is very simple do coop bridge in auto, quick clean up after auto, then all the balls corral at the blue bridge. Drive straight, lift up, shoot the three while moving, then go back for more.

Joe and Chris: thanks for the advice, you guys increased my high score from 40 to 130 in two days!

[BrendanB]

New high score. 199! OH so close to breaking 200!
