Go to Post Woodie once said he wanted to make our brains hurt. And I *don't* think he was talking about getting beaned by 198 grams of foam.... - Ken Patton [more]

Hopefully FIRST doesn't make me regret this optimism.
Considering FIRST had trouble reliably raising a tiny flag at many events last year I'm pessimistic.

Re: Fuel Vs. Gears

4505 decided on having a low-efficiency high goal shooter to use if we find ourselves on a team stacked with gear bots as well as a top quality gear placing system. Getting 40 kPA in quals could be useful, as we are carrying 2 autonomous programs (1 for high goal other for gear) to build up kPA quickly.

Re: Fuel Vs. Gears

And the option to get 40 high shots in auto? How difficult is that?
It seems doable - not easy, but doable. And to start the match with 40 points and 1 qp - that seems a challenge worth weighing carefully.
