The Roboctopi are hard at work chasing the 40 kPa Ranking Point bonus… to do that, we determined that we needed to maximize the potential of the Auto period. So, after implementing our first ever successful vision tracking routine, we set to work on a hopper dump Auto, something we did not have in mind when originally designing our bot.
Geometry problem with the bot. We’ve found that if we hit the hopper and stay there, fuel tends to pile up in the gap without actually flowing into the robot fast enough to make it feasable in a 15 second auto. Instead, we let our 775-powered intake snag as many as it can, under the assumption that anything over 10 balls scored is absolutely worth going for.
Way cool! Your performance at Mount Vernon is ranked 30th in the world for fuel points according to the spreadsheet just posted for per match averages.
I will be checking out the livestream this weekend. Good Luck at Auburn.
