I’m able to score everything in the far zone reliably now, but I’ve been having trouble making a mechanism to simply knock the stars off of the fence and in into the far zone reliably. Does anyone know of a good, simple way of doing this?
Thanks.
This is probably the hardest aspect of scoring a perfect in skills. Would it be absurd to knock them onto your side and then put them to the far zone?
I think that would take too much time to be worth it.
Same score at most imo.
Unless somehow you can somehow pull them off directly into the intake.
If the robot has a high turnover rate, then it probably doesn’t need to knock them into the far zone directly, but rather knock them inwards into your side of the field and scoop them up along with the rest of the stars.
You need to put a significant amount of front/back spin on it. This can be achieved with driver practice.
Get a long c-channel with some standoffs and just hit the fence hard when dumping. Should consistentlynget either far or close to far. Otherwise, just knock the stars to your side and dump them back over. Most robots can finish their driver loads in ~45 sec, so you should have some time.
