Here is a sample of our autonomous. It gets two racks then scores them, check it out. Let us know what you think

I have a feeling that RI went very well for you guys today...

[dooey100]

Very impressive! But aren't you worried about running into the other robots if they try any autonomous? Or are you using the sonar to look for other robots?

[ttldomination]

Yeah. I feel that there is too much room for error. If you run into something and if you are using encoder counts, the exact distances will be different on the field.

Personally, one which scores one at a time has more insurance.

None the less. SO good.

We used light sensors to pick up the racks. True, there is room for error over the entire program, but "one which scores one at a time" in auto will never have a remote possability of scoring 190 points in auto. We made an auto that got one rack, and then we made this one.

How do you score 190 points in auto? 32 pucks in the racks plus 3 on the robots is 35 total pucks times a maximum of 5 points each is 165 points. Even if you had both robots drive up ramps in auto, you still don't get 190. How do you get to 190 autonomous points?

[emmell]

If they're scored in autonomous and not de-scored during the rest of the match, the pucks will be counted a second time. So, 165 + 165 for pucks. 25 for clearing the racks. 20 for getting both robots off the field. Max score for a team is 375 points.

The possibility is not remote. It's just more likely that you will get at least one rack, rather that not get any at all. And then at world, where almost ever single robot will be moving, running into someone might be a big issue.

I saw this Auto in the finals at the RI regional. It was pretty sick. It was awesome teaming up with you guys again!
