How important do you think it is for a team to be able to de-score through the back of the robot using something like rollers or a trapdoor? My current robot can de-score though the back using rollers, but I am unsure if I want to include that on our next robot.
I think it is very important; might base alliance selection off of this feature.
It is not important as long as you can de-score, would choose alliance partner solely off of performance.
with the new remote competition rules, there isn’t much value to a sorter unfortunately. it’s still useful for skills and normal matches though where you have to descore.
At higher levels yes it matters. Specifically in my opinion, if the robot has a single rubber band horder. But early season I’m going to pick based on performance.
