I believe this is what my teammate was referring to, he probably assumed that since 254 had figured out the 9 shot auto they would be trying to do it.

I think most of the confusion is coming from this tweet, which was later explained in this post from Cory.

We've been able to pick up and shoot 5 all but one time however our shooter issues at CVR didn't help with the scoring, if all goes well though we should be consistently getting either a 5 or 7 shot auto at the Sacramento regional.

Not us. 9 disc is impossible based on every robot we've seen so far.

Curious why you say this?

Seems to me like 1986 or 2056 have both done 7, and they're certainly not moving as fast as they could be.

I don't know about 2056, but it seems like 1986 would have to do two 180s, which makes it significantly harder.

Both would have to 180 to pick them up and then 180 again to shoot them. Given 2056's historical adeptness with a gyro, I would say that doing two 180s and ending up facing the same direction would be trivial for them. Whether they could pick up frisbees, and get back to a position to shoot them would be a much bigger challenge.

Only if they start in the center of the pyramid. Look at how 25/103 and 987 pick up discs in autonomous (including the center line) while starting from the rear corners. It's possible to complete it with two ~90deg turns. Certainly for 2056, at least. 1986 would have to be a little more creative, and probably drive in an arc and then spin 180.

And then there's teams like 2590 and 1241, who could theoretically accomplish the task without ever turning. But neither has hit 7 yet, and I have no idea if 1241 can run over the discs and then still pick them up like 2590 does.

Oh my bad, I got this info from another team member who said that you guys had figured out a 9 shot autonomous but we're trying to perfect it.

The High Rollers have a gimble/turreted shooter on top so I don't think they have to 180. I admired their turret design from last years at Champs. That thing is deadly accurate

Their turret cannot rotate all the way around. The loader is behind it.

We currently pickup 7 (new feature in our second district event), but due to occasional loading issues (and a few missed shots and intermittent start-up transients) we usually make 5 or 6 (or during the SJ elims, 3 shots, thanks to a sensor issue).

Congratulations to our friends at team Excel. You guys are #1 in qualification points in Michigan through week 3! I am looking forward to seeing you guys at MSC in a few weeks.

We were the only one to use a floor pick up in Auto at Gull Lake. We did 5 disc there and of the matches I watched, we made all 5 at least 3 of the 12 seeding matches and 2 of elimination matches. Most of the matches we made 4 in auto. Sometimes we did not pick up both of the extra two and occasionally we missed one.

We are hoping to have a sucessful 7 disc auto for West Michigan and MSC.

Here's the list so far (I ignored accuracy for the sake of simplicity)

7-diskers:
33
70
341
987
1986
2056
2474
2590
3928

Hopefuls:
624
1241
1678
2054

We had just tested our code last night and we were successful 4 times in a row that last time it just missed picking it up but still shot the other three. I guess we will wait to see how it works at West Michigan

That's awesome, good luck!

We did the 7 disc at West Michigan. We do not always get all of the extra four off the floor as alignment is tricky but we did pick them all up several matches. I don't know if we ever got all 7 in as it was too hard to tell without video replay in the flurry of discs. I do know we made some 6 out of sevens. you can see one of them here

Team 1310 can do a 7 disk as well.
