A salute to simplicity

A word of warning:

"Kamikaze" teams have been called for ramming in autonomous mode. Guess we'll have to wait till the drivers meeting in ATL to be sure how the refs will call this.

They don't call them ballistic behaviors for nothing. With no sensors and no feedback the robot essentially becomes a loose cannon. (No. I am not making this up. Ballistic behaviors is the proper term.)

That was the toughest defensive play aginist us all season including the Championship. Great job. Try to go a little easier on us next year

We had one match where the straight-line autonomous worked perfectly. We were on red, and about a second after autonomous started, we hit the back corner of a shooter opposite us, causing it to swing about 90 degrees. It then proceeded to shoot 10 balls at the stands, which eventually made the match for us.
