4678 had a 2-ball hot working, and I think they’re a rookie team. It was pretty consistent, too.
We did our two-ball a couple times at Windsor-Essex and successfully got both in once, but changes to our shooter didn’t leave us enough time to do it for the rest of the regional.
I’ve got a video we recorded at our home town, too, but the we only have one game ball and the other was a deflated exercise ball (so it just missed on the low side, it likely would have gone in if it was a game piece).
2607 has been using their 2 ball auto over all three events we’ve competed in. It has been more useful than we could ever have imagined, as we have agreed to/been asked to use it in the vast majority of matches we’ve been in. If memory serves me, we have been about 90% accurate with it, but if it misses, its only ever misses one.
My team didn’t have a catapult but we made a 2 ball low goal auto. Its the only 2 ball low goal that I have seen. Its a very silly thing to do though so I am not really surprised. We were 100% at Finger Lakes with it.
3824 and 2393 both had excellent 2 ball autonomous routines at Smoky Mountains this year! It was really unfortunate that 2393 was unable to qualify for championships this year as they built a very interesting and pretty different robot this year and managed to seed first at SMR. I am sure 3824 will have perfected their already great 2 ball by championships this year!
We did one at Finger Lakes, although they weren’t both in the top goal. We just ran our normal top goal routine, but placed a second ball in front of our robot (partner started in the goalie zone). Bulldoze one ball into low goal, score other ball into top goal. Probably not what you were looking for, but I guess it still counts.
I didn’t mean to make it sound like I wan’t impressed. Still a first year team doing that to me is somewhat more so.
Not silly at all. In fact a very good idea too as you still scored a fair amount of points. I like teams that take on programming challenges such as that in their first year.
This definitely counts for something. In fact it was my backup plan in case we encountered a team that had no auto and the programming of the 2-high goal auto wasn’t working quite right. Nice thinking.
