It seems to be difficult getting a Note into the Amp Pocket even if you’re adjacent to it.
If it’s possible to shoot a Note into the Amp from afar, I’d like to, and might even expect to see someone do it.
In my mind, one way to do that would be to shoot it from a far in a parabola, such that it falls right at the bottom end of the Pocket, perpendicular to the ground with a slight pitch.
(possibly lunched by wheels on the right and on the left of the Note, angled at an exacted pitch, such that the note travels with no spin)
Another way would be lunching it with speed, right at the middle of the Pocket and perpendicular to the ground, such that it travels in a straight line, and somehow doesn’t bounce back when it hits the back of the Pocket.
It would be interesting! And super math heavy. It is something I think could only be done if you’ve got time on your hands, and you’re pretty low to the ground. However, we do have the physics calculations to make this happen out there somewhere (I’m sure, though I haven’t checked). It would be an interesting challenge and I could 100% see a team trying this. (Yes, specifically orbit)
Unfortunately no as far as I am aware, unless one of the other teams posted this one. This was the one match I wasn’t in the room for so I didn’t get to film it.
Disclaimer: this was accidental, we just needed to get the note out and intake another and it did this. After about 15 minutes we did have to move the robot away from that position. https://youtube.com/shorts/BtHNTA2G6ok?si=bRWAUrlMGLrPhlfY
