We want to know what the best way to load is drivers skills, autonomous, and teams. we also want to know if its worth rapid loading for rapid relay.

I’m not 100% sure, but I think putting spin on the ball is a good loading strategy.
I don’t know exactly how rapid loading works, but I think it can be beneficial depending on your robot’s range and scoring method.

Hi. After a quick test, it seems spinning the ball in the opposite direction can help you rig the area where it goes. However, I would definitely not recommend doing this, as this is a major violation, which may get you disqualified. Please don’t do this!!!
As for rapid loading, yes. Its extremely important for drivers skills and autonomous, its going to be the main way to get points for that period.
For teamwork, if you have more passes then goals (which you should, since you can get two passes at the start of the game) then you should rapid load a ball that gives the extra 12 points ASSUMING you hit all four targets
I made it a lot more complicated then it really is, but its simple if you get the hang of it!

Which rule does it violate?
I’m not too sure, however At a tournament I saw a team get disqualified for purposely spinning a ball. You MUST drop it

When was this tournament?

This Q and A clearly states that this strategy is legal as long as it doesn’t violate any rules.
Do you know for sure the team was disqualified for that?
