Autonomous Strategies
A quick scoring analysis makes the value of RCs glaringly obvious. If two alliances of competent stackers face each other, the alliance which is able to gain control of the majority of the Step RCs will almost certainly win the match. It's also obvious that the time to gain control of the Step RCs is at the very start of the match; the first second of autonomous period.
In a highly competitive match, two autonomous strategies make sense:
- Fast Can (RC) Burglaring. A robot should secure two RCs from the step during the first second or so of autonomous. In a highly competitive match, it should be assumed that all step RC will be controlled by one alliance or the other during the first second (or so) of the match.
- 3-Tote Autonomous. This is the only autonomous routine which will score points (and significant points at that) during autonomous without reliance on alliance partners
An ideal alliance in a competitive match would comprise two robots having fast double RC Burglars and one robot with reliable 3-Tote Autonomous.
