JABot67: JABot67: . The depositing of the first ball is key here.

While dropping the 1st ball helps in preventing another team from trying to steal or move the ball on the ball on the center line, it is not key to this auto.

The placement of that boulder on the center line is in a location that could hinder the other alliance from crossing a defense should they choose that, as the secret passage is directly in front and not a defense. So it comes down to do I stop them from scoring 10 points or do I score 10 points, also do I risk hitting them if we go for that ball at the same time?

Also awesome auto, though i don’t think that bench grinder is a legal FRC robot.
